Easy Mother’s Day Craft to do with your toddler

Easy Mother’s Day Craft to do with your toddler

Crafting with toddlers is always an adventure but watching them create something is just the best! I love the process of making things together, so I’m always trying to think of easy crafts to do with toddlers.

This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. By using my links to shop I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

I’m a very sentimental mom who keeps all the artwork my girls create. I wanted to have something that I could remember both the girls by at their current ages (2 and 7). These handprint bouquets are so easy to make and both kids had a great time making them.

My oldest could trace and cut out on her own which made her very happy to have her own creative freedom. My youngest was happy to get her hand traced and pick out the colors of paper to use!

Being a busy mom, getting out of the house to buy materials is not always at the top of my list so I was so happy to order from Walmart and get everything that I needed for this project!

With my Walmart+ membership, I was able to get Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum required (excludes freight & Marketplace items)!

I order everything from Walmart, from groceries and household essentials and it’s great that I can also get things for our craft projects shipped for free!

It’s also nice that I can even place an order from my local store! I get to choose the delivery window time so I get my items whenever I need. Plus I also get free delivery from our store ($35 minimum. Restrictions apply)!

How to make a handprint bouquet for Mother’s Day

Materials for the project:

And make sure to have lots of snack on hand! It was so great to be able to place one order on Walmart and get everything so I didn’t have to worry about running out to get any last minute items.

This Mother’s day craft is simple, easy and I love that it involves your kids hands which is always so fun if you do a hand craft each year to see how much their little hands have grown.

Instructions:

  • Grab a few colors of construction paper to be the “flowers”
  • Have your child put their hand on the paper and trace their handprint
  • Trace the handprint on all the colors or use one as a template to cut out the rest
  • Cut out strips from green paper to create the stems
  • Glue the green strips to a piece of white paper – make sure to layer them so it looks like a flower bouquet
  • Glue the hand “flowers” to the tops of the stems
  • Cut a piece of ribbon and create a bow
  • Glue the bow to the stems

Write their names on the bottom or the back of the paper so you’ll remember when they make them! My oldest daughter wrote a note to me which I just love!

This is a great gift not just for mother’s day, you can give one to grandma and teachers, etc… It’s a fun project that the kids will love to do with you!

The Walmart+ membership has been so great when I know that I will need things in a few days. I place my order and it’s at my door before I know it! But I also stop in to Walmart when I need and I love that with Walmart+ I also get more benefits when I shop in store like using the mobile scan & go where I can check out with my phone! It helps me run in and out of the store with ease and I can get back to my busy schedule!

Walmart+ is definitely something I rely on a lot and highly recommend trying it out for yourself! You can even get a 15 day free trial if you sign up here!

What I’m Gifting My Mom for Mothers Day

This post is sponsored by Sephora.  All opinions are my own.

What I got my mom for Mother's Day

Mothers Day is coming up next month and I am always trying to think of a really great gift to treat my mom. My mom and I are really close and I wanted to give her something that felt personal and touching. I got the idea to gift a bottle of perfume because my mom taught me everything I know about beauty and the perfume she wore when I was a child still always brings back so many memories.  For Mother’s Day I wanted to find something that reminded me of those days to give to her.

I went to Sephora to find the perfect fragrance for her and I was pleasantly surprised with the wide assortment, the multiple sizes and price points and even gift sets that make it so easy to give something special. You can even take Sephora’s Fragrance Quiz
iconand in store to find the perfect scent!

This Marc Jacobs Daisy totally reminds me of the light and fruity scents that my mom wore when I was growing up and I’m so happy that she loves it too!

Now that I’m a mom I get really sentimental of everything my mom did for me and my siblings growing up.  I hope I can be the kind of mom my mom was to me.  She is now a grandma of 5 and she just adores her grandchildren.  I love seeing her with my daughters and how they love to be around her as well.

If you are looking for a great gift for your mom or any woman in your life, Mother’s Day is the perfect time of year to gift fragrance and I highly recommend heading to Sephora to find the perfect fragrance to fit their personality. My mom loved her gift so much that I will be heading back to stock up on some gift sets for my sister and girlfriends.

Mother’s Day Picks

It’s hard to believe it’s already May, and Mother’s Day is less than a week away. Flowers, cards and of course time with your mom is always a good idea for Mother’s Day.  But, if you’re still looking for an extra gift, I wanted to share some of my favorite picks for moms and moms-to-be!

1. J Crew Jeweled Medallion Sweater – If your mom is anything like my mom, who loves bling, she’ll love this sweater.  Perfect for the summer with the short sleeves and appropriate for day or night.
2. Anthropologie Cora Apron
If your mom likes to cook, this apron is perfect for the mom who still wants to look cute in the kitchen. It’s adorable! Plus, how darling is this spoon set? 
3. Madewell Silk Boyshirt This silk button-up will be a great addition for any woman’s wardrobe. It’s soft and can easily pair with things already in your mom’s closet. Plus, it comes in a bunch of fun colors!  I own 3 different colors and love them!
4. Who doesn’t need a new bag? This tote is a great size and makes for a great travel bag.
5. J.Crew Mila Ballet Flats Every woman needs a good pair of flats in her wardrobe. These are chic and versatile.

 

1. Fresh Sake and Seaberry Spa Retreat Set If
your mom can’t make it to the actual spa, this is a great substitute.
The set includes everything she needs to give her the spa experience at
home.
2. t+ j Designs Gold Triple Heart Necklace 
Show your mom you love her, literally, with this triple heart necklace. It’s a great piece for every day wear. 
3. Sephora Dreams Fragrance Sampler Impression Sampler for Her:
Perfumes
are tough because they’re so unique to the individual and their
personality. That’s why this sampler set is perfect for trying out a
bunch of different fragrances. Once you choose which scent you like
best, the set includes a certificate for your mom to go to any Sephora
and get a full-size bottle of her favorite scent!
4. t+j Designs Luxe Link Necklace
Jewelry is always a great option for moms, and this necklace is a favorite of many and will go with almost everything.
5. Vintage Chanel Earrings OK a total splurge but I love these classic earrings and think any mom would love to have them!
6.
Rose gold is still a great trend and how pretty is this watch. It’s also outlined with Swarovski crystals, making
it so girly!
