Flowers to Make Mom for Mother’s Day

It’s nice to get flowers for Mother’s Day, but even better to get kid-made flower crafts that you can keep for years. Check out these easy flower crafts for Mother’s Day that kids can make, or at least help with.

These pretty paper flowers from Made with Happy are made from circular petals, which kids can cut out or you can use a punch if you have one. They use construction paper so you probably already have what you need to make them.

Older kids can make more involved projects like these flower shaped salt dough magnets. This idea from The Best Ideas for Kids can be totally made by kids, or younger kids can decorate them. They can also be made into picture frame magnets, which is always a good choice for moms and grandmas.

Handprint crafts are another classic, like these handprint lilies from One Little Project. You’ve probably seen flowers like these before but they’re always popular because they’re so pretty and easy to make.

Try your hands at origami with these pretty origami tulips from Red Ted Art. The post says this is a good one for beginners and that even preschoolers can make one with help. Use them on a card or make a bouquet.

Another option for tulips is shown in this Mother’s Day card video tutorial from CraftISH Corner. These are cut out by hand from petal shapes as shown in the video.

I love this flower that folds into a heart and unfolds back into a flower. I found a video showing it on Pinterest from Child Fuel but I can’t find their template, so see also the heart shaped flower idea from Easy Peasy and Fun to get a template for this one.

And one more video I also found on Pinterest but was able to track down the original on Instagram from Ballarteskids. She used sticky note squares to make the flower shape, but you could use any paper cut into a square. So fun!

Ghost crafts are a lot of fun for kids to make and they’re a way to get into Halloween crafting that’s not really scary. Here are some easy ghost crafts for you to make with kids, whether it’s your kiddo at home or a class full.

I love this simple ghost made with a pompom or cotton ball covered in paint and used as a stamp. This one is from Crafts on Sea and you can have kids just hold the pompom or hold it with a clothespin to make it a little less messy.

Use cotton balls and printable facial expressions to make these silly ghosts from Housing a Forest. The post includes the printable templates or you can just add googly eyes.

Little fabric ghosts are a classic, whether you make them with white fabric or fall or Halloween fabric. Buggy and Buddy shows you how to make these little ghosts with a few cute embellishments. Just make one or two or make a garland or Halloween tree full of them.

There always seem to be paper plates lying around, and this paper plate ghost from Crafts by Amanda is a fun one. There’s a printable in the post for the facial features and arms, or kids can draw their own faces (and leave off the arms if you want to keep it simple).

What kid doesn’t love peeling dried glue? Turn that impulse into a craft with these glue ghosts from Friends Art Lab, and don’t miss the tip in the post that helps you turn these into window clings.

This handprint ghost in the window craft from Glued to My Crafts is so cute and easy for kids to make alone or with help. The post shows lots of variations so it would be fun to make these in a classroom and let each kiddo design their own “window” or add embellishments.

These sweet little tissue paper ghosts from Red Ted Art are actually mini pinatas, but you can just make it as a ghost without anything inside if you’d rather.

And you know I love a good kids’ sewing project so I can’t resist sharing these little felt ghost puppets from The Craft Train. Kids can sew them by hand or you can make them out of paper if you don’t want to try sewing them. The template for the ghosts is free to download, and you can also just make little softies instead of puppets if you like.
