Store-bought Mother's Day cards are fine. But a card a child coloured themselves? That's the one that lives on the fridge for a month and then in a memory box forever. Moms don't keep the expensive cards. They keep the handmade ones.
This card has a big 'Happy Mother's Day!' with flowers to colour on the front, and lined message space inside starting with 'Dear Mom.' Print it, hand over the crayons, help with the message if needed, and fold. That's it — that's the whole gift, and it's perfect.
Pair it with breakfast in bed (even if the toast is a little dark) and you've nailed Mother's Day. Print one per kid; grandmas appreciate their own copy too.
Fold in half — the floral 'Happy Mother's Day!' is the front, the message lines go inside.
Anything honest. 'Thank you for...' completions work beautifully for little ones.
Cardstock for a sturdy card; plain paper is fine if that's what you have.
The second Sunday in May — mark it on the May calendar and don't leave the card to Saturday night.
