A simple terra cotta pot + colorful thumbprints = a keepsake that’s both useful and sentimental.
Let kids dip their thumbs in paint to create flower designs all around the pot. Add a real plant or some pretty faux flowers, and you have a gift that will brighten Mom’s day, and her home for months.
“All About Mom” Book
Create a simple fill-in-the-blank mini book where preschoolers answer prompts like “My mom is as beautiful as ____” and “My mom’s favorite thing to do is ____.” Their answers will be hilarious and heartwarming. Add their drawings on each page for extra sweetness.
Handprint Bouquet
Instead of giving real flowers that will eventually wilt, help kids trace and cut out colorful handprints. Assemble them together on green pipe cleaners to form a handprint bouquet. Tie it with a pretty ribbon, it’s a “forever flower” gift Mom will love.
Heart Suncatchers
Using tissue paper squares and clear contact paper, preschoolers can create heart-shaped suncatchers. Stick them to the window, and when the sunlight shines through, it’ll look like a stained-glass masterpiece made just for Mom. Make it extra sweet and write what your child loves about mom around the edge.
Printable Mother’s Day Card
This easy-to-make card is the perfect card for mom. Preschoolers can color the front, then open it up to write what they love most about their mom and draw a special picture. Print on cardstock for a sturdy, gift-ready card that’s full of love.
Personalized Apron
Buy a plain white apron and let the kids decorate it with fabric paint or permanent markers. Think tiny handprints, doodled flowers, or a sweet message like “Mom’s Kitchen.” Every time she cooks or bakes, she’ll think of her little artist.
Fingerprint Jewelry Dish
Shape air-dry clay into a small dish, then press the child’s fingerprints around the edges. After drying, paint it with pastel colors or a metallic gold finish. It’s the perfect little dish for Mom to keep her rings or earrings and it’s full of sentimental value.
“I Love You Because” Frame
Give kids a template or blank paper to draw a picture of Mom and write (or dictate) why they love her. Frame it in a simple frame they can also decorate with gems, stickers, or paint. It’s sweet, personal, and a gift she’ll want to display year-round.
Mommy & Me Bracelets
Use stretchy cord and pretty beads to make matching bracelets for Mom and child. Kids will love choosing special colors, and Mom gets a piece of jewelry that reminds her of her little one every time she wears it.
Pressed Flower Bookmark
Collect flowers and leaves during a nature walk. Press them between books until dry, then help kids arrange them between sheets of clear contact paper cut into bookmark shapes. Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon. It’s beautiful, useful, and perfect for book-loving moms.
“Reasons I Love Mom” Jar
Have preschoolers brainstorm things they love about their mom, even if they need a little help with the writing part. Write each reason on a strip of colorful paper, fold it up, and put all the notes in a decorated mason jar. Mom can pull out a new little love note whenever she needs a smile.

Preschoolers can color, cut, and gift, no prep required.
