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!
