Mother's Day is nearly here! Have you decided what you're going to get her yet? Gifts are always nice but if you really want to impress your Mum, Step-Mum or Grandma this year, why not make her something from scratch instead?

DIY Mother's Day Craft.
It's good to remember that a gift doesn't have to be store-bought to be special. In fact, some of my favourite gifts are ones that my kid has made himself.
No matter how old you are I'm sure your Mum would still appreciate a lovely homemade gift. That's why I've included some crafts for the grown-ups to make as well as the kids.
I've separated them into age groups (easy craft projects for the younger kids to more complex crafts for older kids and adults) so you should be able to find what you're looking for easily.
If you're looking for more Mother’s Day printables I have good news! You can get the whole collection of Printable Mother’s Day Placemats in the shop ready to be coloured and doodled on.
