In our house, we don’t spend a lot of money on cards for the kids to give us for various holidays. A homemade card and message is more precious and much less expensive. And that is where this little Mother’s Day gift comes into play.
Mom will have a fun keepsake of precious thoughts and Dad will get some help with the gift-giving and card-shopping side of things. (Oh and did you enter the $75 Teleflora Mother’s Day giveaway yet? It ends Monday!)
This Mother’s Day gift idea is easy. It is free. It is personalized.
Here is what your child will be answering:
What You’ll Need:
- Printer & Paper (I used card stock.)
- Scissors or Paper Cutter
- Hole Punch
- Ribbon or Material
- Your Wonderful Child
Instructions:
1. Download and print the FREE For My Mom on Mother’s Day – Fill in Booklet.
2. Cut the pages in half and punch holes on the side.
3. Before assembling, have your child fill out the prompts on each page. Help as needed. For the ‘Flowers for Mom” page, your child can either glue pressed flowers or draw a picture for her.
4. Thread the holes with ribbon as shown below if you would like to hang your booklet on a door knob or hook.
5. Give to Mom on Mother’s Day and watch her enjoy all the lovely thoughts from her child.
I’ll be sharing some of what my kids wrote or drew in their booklets on Instagram. (I hope you’ll come follow me!) And yes, I obviously saw my kids’ books a little early. Some of their responses are priceless and I’m sure your kids’ answers will be too.

Happy {Early} Mother’s Day!

Last year, my husband started a binder for me – each kid drew a picture or wrote me a message, and he placed the pages in a special For Mom binder. These pages are PERFECT to go in there. I already printed two copies, and I’m going to give to him to have them do and stick in there. Thank you!
Tara, I love the idea of a binder! What a great way to collect all those precious pictures and messages. Do you do one for your husband too?
These are adorable, what a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Alicia. Hope you enjoy it!
Very adorable! I pinned this 🙂
Thanks, Betsy! So glad you stopped by.
So sweet and precious! Gifts like that are priceless treasures. Love!
They are fun to look back on, aren’t they? 🙂
This is a great project for the kiddos! Any mom would love to get this booklet as a Mother’s day gift 🙂 Thanks for sharing and for joining in our #PinUP Pin Party…
