Mother’s Day means more than just gifts — it’s about taking a moment to reflect on the care, love, and support so many women give every day.

We’ve created a Mother's Day activity pack to help you celebrate the amazing mums, grandmothers, carers, and mother-figures in your life — no matter where you are.

Here are four fun activities to enjoy: 

1. Thoughtful keepsakes 

Write what makes your mum special in each petal of a flower, or fill in fun details like her favourite food, then print as a unique keepsake.

2. Creative activities for everyone

Children can draw a picture of themselves with their mum or fill in a box of “chocolates” with all her favourite treats. There’s also mindful colouring for everyone to enjoy for a moment of calm.

3. Make a paper bouquet

Decorate your own flowers, add a stem, and arrange them in a paper cone to create a bouquet that won’t wilt with this hands on craft activity using everyday materials. 

4. Lovely things I will do

Acts of kindness go a long way. This page encourages children to think about how they can show appreciation to t he important women in their lives, whether it’s helping with chores, sharing a hug, or just spending time together.


Whether you're spending the day together or connecting from afar, this pack offers simple, meaningful ways to share quality time together.
