1. A bouquet that will never wilt
Make a one-of-a-kind handprint bouquet she can keep forever. Draw the stems, then dip a child's palm into a paint color of their choice and press to the paper. Repeat as many times as you'd like! Let them add leaves or other decorative elements as well.

2. Make her heart bloom with a painted planter
Use acrylic paint to decorate a pot for mom. Once it's finished and dry, apply clear acrylic sealer spray to protect the paint and make it last longer (This step is optional, but recommended, especially if the planter will be used outside.) Add soil and a plant for a gift she'll cherish!

3. Frame a masterpiece
Set up a painting station with finger paint and paper. Let your child create a special Mother's Day painting however they want, then head to a store together to choose the perfect frame for their masterpiece.

5. Go picture-perfect, and practical
Make a drink coaster mom can use every day! Get a 4x4 ceramic tile (you can find them for pennies at a hardware store!) and cut either photos or drawings to a slightly smaller size than the tile. Glue them to the tile.
Apply 3 thin coats of Mod Podge to the front of the tile, wrapping down around the sides and smoothing out the front, waiting about 15 minutes between each coat. (As it dries, it will look opaque, but once finished, it will dry clear.)
Let the tiles dry completely for at least three days before using. It will take them that long (or maybe longer depending on your area's humidity level!) to seal completely and no longer feel tacky.
