A Handmade Mother’s Day

22nd February 2018 Kids

Last week it was all about a Mother’s Day gift guide which gave you a few ideas of what to get the mums in your life that wasn’t the usual flowers and chocolates. One thing that was missing though, was the handmade touch. More specifically some handmade gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

If you’re a mummy to young children, then those little handmade bits to go alongside a Mother’s Day gift mean the world. Therefore, here’s four quick and easy handmade gifts. These simple craft ideas are quick, easy and perfect for toddlers and pre-schoolers to make for the mummies and grandmummies in their lives.

FOR THE MUM WHO LOVES A BREW

A decorated mug is perfect for that mum who loves a brew. What could be better than your very own decorated masterpiece? Perfect for sitting back and enjoying your tea from with pride. This looks more complicated than what it is, as its incredibly simple and easy to do. Little ones love the freedom to decorate an item they recognise like a cup, and mum ends up with something that she can not only use but is truly unique.
