Motherhood is an important phase in a woman's life, and an essential extension of womanhood. A mother sacrifices everything for her child and gives unconditional love to her children no matter what. Mother's Day is a unique opportunity for children to make their mother feel special. Preschool kids can create easy craft work at home which would be a lovely choice of homemade gifts for your Mom. Here are a few ideas to make Mother's Day a special event for your mom.
Bath Salts
What you Need
* Epsom salts
* Glycerin
* Perfume
* Baby food jars
* Food coloring
Directions
Pour the Epsom salt, 3 tablespoons of glycerin and 1 tablespoon of perfume in a large bowl and stir. Add red or blue coloring to tint it either pink or light blue. Stir again. Put it into bags or jars and the scented bath salts for your mom are ready.
Book of Kisses
What You Need
* Papers
* Markers
* Lipstick
Directions
This is probably the best gift idea for a Mother's Day gift and a mother will surely love it. Cut out a few 4-inch square papers and, by stapling them together, make a booklet. Ask the child to decorate the cover of the booklet with whatever design they wish. Apply lipstick to the child's lips and ask them to kiss each and every page inside the booklet. Write 'Book of Kisses' on the top page and present it to the mother saying that she can exchange each of the pages for a real kiss. It is advisable to make two copies of the book; one to use and the other to be kept as a memorabilia.
Handprint Dishcloth
What You Need
* A solid color dishcloth
* Fabric paint
* Paintbrushes
* Trays for holding the paint
Directions
Children should paint their hands with the fabric color of their choice and make a handprint on the cloth. If the dishcloth is dark colored, use a light colored fabric to paint and vice versa. Write your name and date on the cloth using a paintbrush.
Add a poem on the cloth.
"Sometimes I might upset you
Just because I'm small
By leaving fingerprints of mine
On a table, chair or wall.
But everyday I grow a bit
And I'll be big one day
When all my tiny fingerprints
Have long been cleaned away
So keep these prints of my two hands
To help you to recall
Just how big my fingers were
That time when I was small."- Anonymous
This will create a memory of your little hands that your mom can keep forever.
Hug
What You Need
* A long paper roll
* String
* Bingo markers
* Red paper
Directions
Let the child hug you. Then, measure this hug and cut a length of paper the same size as the hug. (A piece of string can be used to measure the hug.) Trace the child's hands on the sides of the cut paper and then decorate the paper with bingo markers etc.
Add a heart in middle with the poem,
"Here's a happy hug a bunch
Wrap it around and feel the crunch
May smiles and kisses come your way
With lots of love on the Mother's Day."- Anonymous
