Mother’s Day is a special day for children to show their love and appreciation for their mom. Showing that doesn’t have to cost a dime! Here are 5 free ways to help your child show their mom how much they love and admire her, for FREE!
1. Breakfast in Bed
Serve breakfast in bed,
With a thorough cleanup after.
She won’t have fun
If you leave the kitchen a disaster!
2. Make Her a Card
Next week we’ll be posting a card template with an original poem!
If you want to make one yourself, grab some crayons, paint, pencils, markers or anything else you can design with. Draw a pretty picture and write her a sweet, heartfelt note. Then sign it, and put it someplace safe to surprise her with on Mother’s Day!
3. Help Sort, Fold and Put Away Laundry
Laundry piles up quickly,
And it can start to mold.
But we can nip mold in the bud,
With a simple wash, dry fold.
4. Create Your Own I.O.U.s
Think of things you’re mom might need some help with or enjoy.
Some examples:
- 1 hour of quiet time for mom
- 1 day or week of helping clean
- Help cook lunch or dinner
- Help in the yard
- 1 week of going to bed without arguing
What can you come up with?
5. Make her flowers
Get some paper, tissue paper or anything you can fold or cut up. Decorate, cut, and glue the pieces together to make a bouquet of beautiful flowers for mom. The best part is that they last forever!
