Easy Mothers Day Art for Toddlers Images
Just a year ago back in Botswana (sob), at "school with Mommy", I had great fun doing some Mothers Day crafts with my toddler and preschooler, along with some little friends of theirs. Now we're back in the UK, they're at preschool/school and, despite missing the African sunshine as well as being involved in the starting blocks of their education, I'm loving just being Mom. That's still a big job!
Of course, this means the kids will be doing Mothers Day crafts with their Dad. Haha, that'll be the day! But maybe there are other Dads around that are a little more willing and able to spend the time crafting with their toddlers than my other half.
Anyway, I'm sure school has Mothers Day covered; I'm hoping this looooong list of cute and easy Mothers Day crafts for toddlers will appeal to teachers and other caregivers.
So here you'll find Mothers Day crafts aplenty. From heart arts and crafts and handprints galore, cute Mothers Day cards and homemade gift ideas there should be something fitting to make with toddlers and preschoolers.
Of course, Mothers Day is a time to appreciate Grandma too (or Granny as we like to call her in our house). So Mothers Day crafts for grandma for toddlers to make are included.
I have gathered some easy Mother's Day Crafts for toddlers as well as DIY Mother's Day Gifts that are perfect for moms who deserve a little extra love and appreciation this Mother's Day.
Cute Mothers Day HEART Arts 'N' Crafts
What better way to show your love for someone than making them something heart shaped? Heart-themed crafts should definitely not be reserved just for Valentines day; they are a perfect Mothers Day craft for toddlers too. Grandma is sure to love a heart craft aswell so all of these are worth a look.
#1 Puffy Heart Craft
Using cardboard or cardstock paper, cotton balls, scissors, and some glue your toddlers will enjoy making a puffy heart craft to give to mom or Grandma on Mothers Day.
#2 Heart Necklace
All kids love seeing their mom wear something they have made for them. With this easy DIY heart necklace, mom can have a new piece of homemade jewelry to wear on Mother's Day.
#3 Fingerprint heart craft to make with toddlers
Moms and Grandmas are sure to love this memorable and permanent heart craft – I'd be over the moon if I received this from my toddler or preschooler on Mothers Day. What's more, the way it's created means it's easy enough for the littlest toddlers – it's the ideal Mothers Day craft for 2-year-olds.
#4 Potato Stamp Heart Art
Some pretty red hearts made with potato stamps would look lovely on the front of a homemade card for Grandma or Mom on Mothers Day or simply as a picture for Mom to stick up somewhere.
#5 Yarn Squiggle Heart
This heart craft is a great way to help your toddler or preschooler work on their fine motor skills as they practice painting different colors in the shapes made by the yarn.
#6 Thumbprint Heart "I Love You" Bookmark
This heart bookmark, made with the thumbprint of your toddler, will make the perfect DIY Mothers Day gift from toddlers whose moms or Grandmas love to read.
#7 Heart Sun Catcher
A paper plate, some tissue paper and contact adhesive are the main ingredients to this cute heart and easy Mothers Day Craft for toddlers to make. It'll look so pretty hanging in the window of moms or grandma's kitchen.
#8 Mother's Day hanging nature heart craft
A heart-shaped nature-inspired Mothers Day craft for toddlers to make; simply glue pretty petals and leaves onto heart-shaped cardboard and hang with twine.
#9 Glitter Hanging Hearts
This easy heart craft is based on an old classic. Simply drop blobs of paint onto some construction paper, fold in two, squeeze and unfold. I remember it well from when I was a kid and used to love experimenting with different colors and making different patterns. I did this with my toddler and preschooler last year to make some pretty butterflies – they loved it just as much as me, to my delight. If you limit the colors available, even a small toddler can come up with something really pretty almost entirely unaided – an easy Mothers Day craft for toddlers or preschoolers that is cute too.
#10 Marbled shaving cream heart art
Unlike #9, I don't remember shaving cream art from my childhood but it's certainly becoming a classic of the 21st century! Beware though, it can get horribly messy with toddlers if you're not careful – I found out the hard way… The key is not to leave your toddler unattended with a bucket full of shaving cream. Should have known that, shouldn't I?! So as long as you don't get distracted, I'm sure you'll have better luck than me and have a lovely-looking pink squiggled heart for your toddler to give to mom or grandma on Mothers Day.
Toddler HANDPRINT crafts & art for Mothers Day
There's no better keepsake than a handprint craft and moms and grandmas just love them – they make the perfect Mothers Day craft for toddlers and preschoolers. You'll also find plenty of other handprint crafts scattered throughout this list of easy Mothers Day crafts for toddlers, especially in the salt dough craft section and in the one for homemade gifts kids can make.
#11 Heart Hand Print Canvas
Paint your toddler's hand pink or red with a brush dipped in baby-safe paint. Place the hand on top of a white canvas and press down. You can add text like "I love you" with a black marker or simply leave it blank; such a cute heart handprint idea for Mothers Day. Toddlers and preschoolers will be so proud of their creation and mothers are sure to adore this homemade Mothers Day gift from their child and treasure it forever.
#12 Butterfly Handprint Card (free template)
This is a super cute handprint craft that turns your toddler into a butterfly! Thanks to the free template it's easy too. You can even let your little artist add glitter to their wings for a bit of sparkle! Mom or Grandma will love seeing their children's personalities shine through their artwork.
#13 Handprint Flower Pot Craft
I love this floral Mothers Day Craft idea for preschoolers and toddlers to make, which cleverly transforms their handprint into the stems of a flower. All you need is construction paper, pompoms and a trace of their handprint! A homemade bunch of flowers for Mothers Day that will stay in bloom for many years to come.
#14 Adorable handprint heart & poem (free template)
Another easy Mothers Day craft for toddlers that combines hearts and handprints, similar to the one on canvas. The benefit of this one is that if you make a mistake and smudge one of the handprints (highly likely with a toddler or preschooler!), you can simply print off another one and start again.
SALT DOUGH Mothers Day crafts to make with toddlers
Playing with playdough is a great sensory activity for toddlers: it fosters their imagination and endless curiosity while working their hand and finger muscles. It's calming too. So there are plenty of reasons to get out the playdough. It's no different with salt dough, which is simply a more permanent version, as it dries hard and can then last for years if you take care of it (by painting, varnishing or simply avoiding any contact with water or damp).
The other day I found some salt dough Christmas decorations that my little brother made many moons ago when he was at preschool! I just hope our salt dough Christmas tree decorations, last as long as we had such fun making them and they turned out really well.
#15 Salt Dough Heart Footprint Keepsake
This might have to be my favorite toddler Mothers Day crafts of all – 2 little footprints and that beautiful message. I know I won't be the only mom who'll simply adore it.
#16 Salt Dough Handprint Ornament
This Mother's Day salt dough craft is also adorable, isn't it? Both big and young kids will love to give this to their mom or grandma to show them their love.
#17 Salt Dough Handprint Bowl
Not just a pretty salt dough craft, this one has a purpose too – a bowl perfect for rings or keys. Mom or Grandma will love this useful DIY Mothers Day gift from their toddler – it's just too sweet.
#18 Mother's Day nature crafts for kids
These nature-printed salt-dough decorations are delightful and a perfect Mothers Day craft for toddlers and moms that love the great outdoors. Toddlers will have fun picking their favorite leaves and flours from the garden or picking ones they know their mom loves.
#19 Salt Dough Heart Handprint Frame np
A salt dough craft for Mothers Day that's also a frame. Simply place two heart handprints made out of salt dough together, put a favorite photo in between before gluing shut. This lovely personalized decoration is sure to please mom.

#20 Mother's Day Fingerprint Poem
I can see most toddlers unable to put their fingerprints anywhere but all over that paper, but as long as those prints are from their own little one, which mom is going to mind? I'm sure Grandma would love this one too.

So check out these homemade Mother's Day gift ideas that are sure to make mom smile as she sees the time and thought put into it.
#41 Thumbprint butterfly & flower mugs
In this DIY Mothers Day gift, toddlers use their finger and thumbprints to make flower and butterfly patterns. They will need the steady hand of an adult to help guide them I'm sure, as well as some blank ceramic mugs, paint and a brush. A stunning and unique gift that I, for one, would love to receive! (Hint, hint, if you're reading hubby…)

We did these as a gift for Dad on his birthday but moms and Grandmas will love one of these scribble sharpie mugs just as much. All you need are some deco pens and plain mugs, then simply bake at a low heat (follow the instructions for the deco pens you're using). They're ideal for a toddler to make, because anything does. My daughter's scribble mug looked as good as any modern art in my book! An ideal toddler made gift for Mothers Day.

#47 Pasta Necklace
Not quite as impressive as some of the other DIY Mothers Day gifts from toddlers but I'd still love to wear a pasta necklace knowing my little one had made it. Maybe I'd only wear it on Mothers Day, then it'd go in the keepsake box…. All you need are uncooked pasta, paint, yarn – plus a little time.
#48 Handprint Coat Rack
This would be a lovely homemade gift to make with kids and if your hallway is in need of some more hooks then this is the one to go for. You can never really have enough hooks can you?!
