There is nothing more heartwarming than a gift made by a child. Handmade gifts are affordable, fun to make, and can be given to all the special people in their lives. Here are some gifts that are sure to make someone mom (or grandma) smile this Mother’s Day.

Prints

All you need is a child’s cooperation, some paint, and a little creativity to make a gift that will be cherished for years. Handprints, fingerprints, and even footprints can be used to make a variety of crafts and art. Try putting your child’s prints on an apron, tea towel, oven mitt, or T-shirt to give to a special someone. Make sure to follow the directions on the paint to ensure that the design lasts for years. As a bonus, your kids will love getting messy during the process.

Tasty Treats

Kids love to help in the kitchen, so why not put together some tasty treats for some sweet people in your life? Get the kids involved in the holiday baking and put together a plate of cookies the kids can help deliver to a grandma or mom. Putting a homemade cookie mix into a mason jar also makes an easy gift that kids can help with. Finish the jar with a bow and instructions and it's ready to be delivered.

Frame it

Photos make a favorite gift for any proud mother or grandmother. Get kids involved in picking out favorite photos from the past year and putting them into a collage with handmade drawings or a poem. Try making a scrapbook page that can be framed for a special gift. Picture frames can be made with decorated popsicle sticks, clay, or an existing frame can be painted or decorated with mosaic tiles, buttons, or other craft supplies.  Affordable frames can be found at local thrift stores or the dollar store.
