Mother’s Day / Father’s Day

There is something about a handmade gift that a bought one simply cannot match. When a child makes something with their own hands and presents it to the person they love, that is the gift that gets kept. These are the cards that end up in a drawer for years. The crafts that sit on a desk long after the flowers have wilted.

These ideas give your 6- to 8-year-old the chance to create something genuinely meaningful for the special adults in their lives. Easy enough for kids to do mostly independently, special enough to make a parent’s day.
