As a mom, there’s nothing I love more than gifts my kids make with their own precious hands–hands I held when they were just tiny and wrinkly. Handmade Mother’s Day crafts never get old. They’re the best because they come straight from the heart. Here are the 22 sweetest Mother’s Day crafts kids and teens can do to make mom’s and grandma’s heart melt.

Love your idea of the footprint butterfly on the terracotta flower pot. I’m clicking “share” on your website so I can see the tutorial, but nothing is happening. Just need to know what kind of paint you used and if you put a sealer over it.
Thanks!

I am having the same troubles. My grandson wanted to make my daughter a beaded necklace for Mother´s Day, but I couldn´t get the details to do so. I am still trying!
