It’s too easy these days to stop off at the supermarket on your way home to pick up a bog standard Mother’s Day card off the shelf and write a quick message inside. This is fine some of the time, but this year, why not push the boat out with your own beautiful, handmade card? It’s a fun, craft activity to do with children too. Below we’ll give you all the tips you need to make a fabulous pop-up card your mum will treasure forever.
You will need:
Card in different colours
Glue
Felt tip pens
Googly eyes
Wool
Stickers or pieces of foam and felt
Instructions:
As an additional touch get your child to write some Mother’s Day poems to further personalise the message. This is another fun activity and Mother’s Day poems are a lovely way to show just how much their mum is loved. Alternatively there are lots of beautiful poems you could copy into the card such as Christina Rossetti’s ‘Sonnets Are Full of Love’.
We’re sure all mums would much prefer a thoughtful, handmade card and original message for Mother’s Day this year. Not only is the finished product something she will adore, knowing the time and effort that has gone into making it all will remind her just how much she means to you!
