There’s nothing quite like Mother’s Day morning – reclining in bed with a cuppa and breakfast as a proud child gleefully hands over their carefully crafted gift. Here’s some clever ideas to get their creativity flowing.

This idea is as simple as it is sweet – a fingerprint pendant made from nothing more than a ball of clay. With a bit of help, even the smallest family members can get involved – just follow the easy instructions from The Crafty Crow.

If minimalism is your thing, here’s another easy idea, that requires a balloon and a little ingenuity. In under a minute your little one will have created an impressive-looking vase, and will be itching to get out and pick some dainty flowers to pop inside. Have a look at the tutorial on Curbly.

Here’s one for craft-loving mums – an unashamedly brash flower pin cushion ring. This looks the perfect project to tackle together, and at the end, you’ll have a useful craft gadget.

This idea will need no help at all from mum or dad – and it’s the perfect Mother’s Day project for Lego lovers. And the upside of a bunch of Lego flowers? There’s no need to change the water.

Finally, a little something to finish off the perfect gift. These printable Mother’s Day gift tags are too cute, for just US$3 from Etsy store Hello Clementine.
