May is the month to celebrate Moms! This year may be a little different because you are not in school. It may be difficult to purchase a gift for your mom, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make her Mother’s Day amazing.

Here are some great ideas that you can do at home to make her day special:


Do Mom’s chores for the day or create a coupon chore book for her to redeem any day.

Bring Mom to the “movies.” Rent her favorite movie and make her popcorn and a treat.

Cook Mom her favorite meal or her favorite dessert. (Don’t forget to clean up afterward.)


Make Mom a keepsake with your hand print like a Berry note like the one below.

 

Berry Handprint Card

You can use your handprint to make your mom a special Mother’s Day card.

 

What You’ll Need:

  • Red washable paint
  • White paper
  • Paintbrush
  • Black marker
  • Green washable paint

   

STEP 1


Place your paper on a flat surface. Paint one hand red using the paintbrush. Press your painted hand in the middle of your paper, fingers down, as shown. Let it dry.

STEP 2
Paint one thumb green and press it three times at the top of the “berry” as shown. You may need to repaint your thumb each time. Once the red paint is dry, use the black marker to make the seeds.

STEP 3


Once all the paint is dry, write a message for your mom. We suggest “I Love You Berry Much!” Be sure to clean your mess.
