Handmade Mother's Day Gifts From The Kids.

Well, it's Mother's Day this Sunday and I love, love, love receiving a handmade present from my wee one.  Usually it's just a card that hubby has helped with but here are a few easy Mother's Day crafts that you can do with your kids.  Keep them, or gift them to Granny or another amazing Mummy!



Painted Tin Can Planters
I am all for some upcycling, and this is a great way to get a little bit creative and repurpose your tin cans ready for the recycling!  Just make sure there are no sharp edges before letting your kids decorate their cans.

Handmade Sugar Scrubs
Mum deserves to be pampered, so here are two really easy sugar scrubs to make.  Save a nice jam jar and some ribbon to make this gift extra pretty.

1. Baby Rose Sugar Scrub from Smart School House

2. Lemon Sugar Scrub from I Heart Nap Time





Wooden Lolly Stick Photo Frames
You can buy these wooden sticks in the craft sections in the supermarkets now.  With a little PVA, paint and some embellishments, kids can be as creative as their imagination can take them.  You could use shells, dried pasta, beads, glitter, pom poms, yarn...
