#21 Homemade Cards
Okay dads, here's my little help to you since Mother's Day is this coming Sunday.
I usually have my kids make cards for their mom for holidays. They love to draw and write, especially for someone else. My office has all kinds of coloring pages and notes from my kids. They really try to do a good job knowing it's for someone special.
I would encourage you to do this for Mother's Day. Have your kids make cards for their mom. Let them be as creative as they want. Use markers, scissors, different kinds of paper and stickers. Help them think through what to write on the card. They will love doing this knowing they are doing it for someone they love. Plus it's so much cheaper than getting cards from the store.
If cards aren't your thing then let your kids think about something else creative to give or to do for their mom. From my experience something homemade goes over a lot better than something store bought. Just sayin'.
It also doesn't have to be for a holiday. You can do it for mom anytime just to let her know she's awesome!
If you're a mom reading this, pass it on to your kids dad and then... forget you saw it.
Any other tips from you dads about making Mom's Day special?
My 4-year-old loves making cards :) And like you said, they are very well-received. I think Daddy cried when he got his homemade Father's Day card last year. (Shhh! Don't tell him I shared that!)
