Mother’s Day Printables for Kids to Fill Out

I always love seeing posts on social media from moms with little kids who fill out Mother’s Day questionnaires with hilarious answers. They almost read like Mad Libs sometimes, and I think that’s an ever better keepsake when the answers are off the wall than when they make sense. (The ones my daughter did when she was that age were mostly sweet and accurate.)

Doing Mother’s Day printables is a fun activity for a classroom (as long as everyone in the room has a mom in their life) or to do with your own kids for mom or grandma.

The Incremental Mama has printables for both mom and grandma that include space for a drawing and a few simple questions. Kids can fill them out themselves or with help from an adult for little ones.

Coupons Are Great has a similar printable questionnaire for Mother’s Day with a bigger space for drawing.

This I Love You Mom coloring page from Views from a Stepstool includes a section kids can fill out with things that make mom special. The printable pack has a bunch of different options for what you might call mom or grandma (including mommy, mum, gran, etc.) so you can use the term you like best or that your kiddo uses.

Mindy Makes has a simple all about mom printable in color and black and white so kids can color it in themselves if they want to. These questions should get some really sweet answers.

Use the printable by itself for a quick Mother’s Day project, or do like Happy Home Fairy did and combine the printable with a handprint flower and photo (or some other art made by the child) to make it even more special.

Use these printables as they are or read the questions and make up your own questionnaire with your favorites. Either way you’re sure to learn something new about your kiddo and what they think about you!

Summer Reading Printables and Tips for Parents

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
