No More Fridge Clutter: Easy Mother’s Day Crafts She Will Love

It’s that time of year again when the kids start plotting to plaster the fridge with their ‘artwork’. But let’s be honest, there’s only so much macaroni art one appliance can handle. This Mother’s Day, let’s guide your little Picassos into making something Mum will love.

1.  Personalised Wooden Jewellery Box

Mums have stuff, and they need somewhere to put it. Grab a wooden box from the craft store, slap on some paint, and let the kids go wild with decorations.

2. Sentimental Self-Portrait

Here’s one for the fridge, but with a twist. Take a photo of Mum, chop it in half, and let the kids draw the other side. It’s a fun activity with hopefully no awkward questions about whether Mum has a moustache.

3. Custom Tea Blends

 

Create a unique tea blend for Mum. Let the kids pick out her favourite herbs and flowers, mix them, and package them in a pretty jar with a homemade label.

“Let’s make this Mother’s Day one for the books – or at least, one that survives past next week’s bin day.”

4. DIY Spa Day

Turn the house into a spa because nothing says ‘relaxation’ like being pampered in the comfort of your own chaos. Whip up some homemade face masks, and maybe, just maybe, Mum will forget about the glitter she’s still trying to vacuum out of the carpet from your ‘craft session’.

5. Garden Stones

Kids can add handprints or write messages onto stones with waterproof paint, then place them in the garden as a lasting keepsake and anti-house clutter.         

6. Memory Jar

Fill a jar with handwritten notes from the kids, sharing their favourite memories with Mum. Decorate the jar with paint, ribbons, or stickers. Warning: This one’s likely to induce some sobbing.

7. Handprint Apron

Buy a plain apron and let the kids add their handprints with fabric paint. Get them thinking about a funny slogan that will make mum chuckle every time she uses it.

So there you go- ideas that are not just about dodging another fridge overload crisis. They’re about the kids getting their hands dirty and learning that the best gifts are the ones you can’t just buy at the shop. So, grab the glue gun, rally the troops, and let’s make this Mother’s Day one for the books – or at least, one that survives past next week’s big day.
