Make A Handprint Flower Craft For Mother’s Day With A Cute Growing Poem
This craft will always hold a special place in my heart because my daughter made it for my mom for Mother’s Day. She loved it so much that it’s still on her refrigerator (fading slowly) even after all these years.
These handprint paper flowers will be cherished by mom or the grandparents or parents forever!
This is an easy hand flower craft with a cute poem about growing and is perfect for toddler Mother’s Day crafts or preschool crafts for Mother’s Day.
- CRAFT TIP: It’s hard to tell in the picture, but each one of the construction paper flowers has a fingerprint in it. We used too much paint, so I recommend using a stamper pad for that part.
This is one of those simple flower crafts that is really cherished and treasured for years and a fun activity with faux flowers.
If you frame it it makes such a lovely gift for the mama in your life.

Make Paper Flower Vases With Real Flowers for Mom
If you’re looking for simple flower crafts for mom, this is it! It’s a fun 3d flower card for Mother’s Day, made with real flowers!
I love this as an easy craft for preschoolers because it’s a fun way to include a nature walk or backyard play time with craft projects.
And, it’s a super easy craft to make:
- Draw vase shapes on sturdy cardstock or a piece of cardboard.
- Poke holes into the cardboard above the vase.
- On your nature walk, kids pick wild leaves and flowers (leave the stems on!) and string them into the holes to fill up their vase!
- CRAFT TIP: If you’re careful enough, you can pick the dandelion puffs and make a vase of flowers with them!
You don’t have to use dandelions, you can use any flowers you can find or even flowers you buy!
It’s a really great fine motor skills activity for preschoolers while also giving them some outside time.
Make Tissue Paper Flowers for Group Mother’s Day Crafts
I remember making these DIY tissue paper flowers with my bestie when we were kids (and I had just as much fun making them as an adult!).
And, even better? You can make this easy craft with craft supplies you probably already have at home: tissue paper (any color) and pipe cleaners!
You can make this as gigantic tissue flowers using full sheets of tissue paper or small paper flowers like we made for colorful flower crafts to fill a vase for Mother’s Day.
This is a fun project for Mother’s Day for group Mother’s Day ideas or for older kids’ crafts — my teen loved these craft flowers.
- CRAFT NOTE: You may have to help young children who are struggling with fine motor skills.

Make A Flower Paint Picture for Mom (My Vote For Best Flower Crafts!)
Out of all the crafts we’ve done, making dandelion paint is definitely in my top 5 favorite crafts ever. (It probably ranks as #1 craft for my daughter!)

If you only have time for one flower craft for Mother’s Day, make it this kids activity. It’s really cool to see how you can transform picking flowers into painting with flowers!
You can even make flower cards for mom using this pressed flower paint.
