Mother’s Day Printables for Kids to Fill Out

April 26, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

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!

Easy Lacing Cards to Make for Kids

Lacing is a great fine motor activity, and most kids go through a phase where they enjoy working with lacing cards. It helps promote focus and is a great quiet activity for kids to do in the car or to fill time in the classroom. And of course knowing how to lace is the beginning of knowing how to sew, which is great for all kids to learn (more on teaching kids to sew here).

There are lots of ways to make your own lacing cards. This one is just a pin but it’s easy to make lacing cards with any shape a child is into using cardboard and a nail to poke the holes. This could be fun for letter and number recognition or spelling the child’s name. Or try this version from Hey Azka, which uses a hole punch to make bigger holes so you can lace with shoe laces.

You can also just do lacing cards with paper, but it’s a great idea to print them on card stock and/or laminate them to make them sturdier for little hands. Homeschool Share has a set of alphabet lacing cards, which are free with email signup. Deceptively Educational has a set of number lacing cards with numbers 0 to 10.

Picklebums has some basic shape lacing cards, too.

Living Life and Learning has a bunch of cute printable lacing cards, including back to school designs, shoes kids can lace and learn to tie and ocean themed lacing cards. She also has tips for making your own lacing cards.

A Rose Tinted World made their lacing cards with craft foam, which makes them a little more durable than paper and you can cut it more easily than cardboard. They used a die cutting machine but you can also cut shapes by hand.

I also love the cat and mouse cards from Seam Whisperer. They also have some spring themed designs. So cute!

If you want to make lacing cards that are more open ended, check out this tutorial form Pretty Life Girls to make lacing cards that are more like geo boards. Theirs are made with wood but you can also do this with cardboard, craft foam or card stock.
