Mother's Day Crafts

Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday. Here is a list of a few different craft projects I found online that would be fun for kids to make and give to their moms for Mother's Day. Certainly more precious a gift than anything store bought and it also is a great way to entertain the kids.

Flower Door Stop: This is an interesting craft using a coffee can and involves making fake flowers. If you have flowers in your backyard or somewhere else nearby you can pick them from, then that would be another option and potentially add to the time (and fun!) of making this gift. You could also try out these Coffee Filter Flowers as a fake flower alternative or to add variety to the bouquet.

Bouquet of Photo Flowers: Make these and put in a vase you already have or perhaps combine this craft with the Door Stop one above. If you go the route of using a vase you already have, then perhaps you can let the kid(s) decorate it with paints. Or you can try this Laundry Bottle Vase craft.

Home Sweet Home Photo Gallery: This is a cute craft involving making a house shaped diorama and adding photos in the house windows.

Baseball Coloring Pages

With the Major League Baseball season now under way it seemed a good time to find some baseball themed coloring pages for the kids to color. Here is some of my favorites I have found on the web. This should keep baseball fans busy for at least one rain delay.

Pope Coloring Pages

Saw Pope Benedict XVI in D.C. yesterday and decided it would be an interesting topic for the blog to find Pope coloring pages. Did not find much, but was surprised to find several Pope coloring pages.

Printable April Fools Pranks

The Family Fun website has some good printable April Fools pranks. There are some for parents to play on kids and some for kids to play of parents. The ones for parents to play on kids include a Chore Camp Brochure and April Fools Word Scrambler. The ones for kids to play on parents include Fake Candy Wrapper and a Fake Field Trip Permission Slip. April Fools may be almost over, but if you have do not done any tricks yet, then these are some easy last minute jokes that are not too mean.

Click on the thumbnails below to see the large version of the coloring pages and activity pages I created for St. Patrick's Day. I did more, but my stupid scanner does not properly scan them in for some reason.

Presidents Coloring Pages

Since President's Day is this Monday, I thought I would share some coloring pages of Presidents for kids to enjoy over this holiday weekend.
