20 Easy Homemade Mother’s Day Card Ideas for Kids

Mother’s Day Card Ideas to Make in School

Looking for some homemade Mother’s Day Card ideas for kids? Look no further! Here are 20 darling ideas that are easy and fun and perfect for kids to make in school, or with some assistance from dad or an older sibling.

Some of these are printables, but most are cute crafty cards for the children to make from scratch! Many of the projects require materials that you may already have at home such as school glue or glue sticks, scissors, markers, cardstock, construction paper, A4 paper, and paint. Some require materials that you may have to get at your local craft shop or online, such as pom-poms and googly eyes. Go ahead and replace them with materials that you have on hand – get creative!
