Mother’s Day is a special occasion to show our love and appreciation for the amazing women in our lives who nurture and care for us. It’s the perfect time for kids to express their gratitude and participate in various activities to make their mom feel extra special. This Mother’s Day, why not create a floral-themed celebration for your mom? Here are 15 engaging activities that kids can do on this special day.
1. Homemade Floral Cards: Encourage your child’s creativity by making a floral card using construction paper, watercolors, markers, or crayons. Kids can draw flowers or use flower-shaped stencils and add a loving note.
2. Flower Pot Decorating: Purchase plain terra-cotta pots and let the kids paint or decorate them with floral patterns. Once dry, fill with soil and plant mom’s favorite flowers.
3. Floral Photoshoot: Set up a mini photography studio complete with floral backdrops, flower crowns, and props. Take candid photos of mom with her children for a memorable keepsake.
4. DIY Perfume Making: Research natural ingredients that can be used in perfumes, such as lavender and rose petals. Guide kids in making a custom scent specifically for their mom.
5. Flower Arranging Workshop: Collect fresh flowers from your local market or your garden, then teach kids how to properly arrange them in vases for an elegant centerpiece or bouquet.
6. Mother’s Day Brunch: Create a floral-inspired menu for a brunch featuring dishes like lavender lemonade, rose petal jam toast, and edible flower salads.
7. Flower Relay Race: Organize a relay race with a floral twist—participants must pass along stems of flowers to one another instead of traditional batons.
8. Floral Collages: Begin by having kids search through magazines and cut out images of colorful flowers. Later, encourage them to create a unique collage that showcases the myriad beauty of floral designs.
9. Paper Flower Bouquets: Teach kids how to make paper flowers from colorful tissue or crepe paper and arrange them in a bouquet for mom.
10. Flower Pressing: Go on a nature walk and collect delicate flowers. Then, help kids press the flowers between the pages of heavy books until they are preserved.
