Flower & Herb Spray Perfume
An easy-to-make scented spray that smells as good as it looks. Kids will love foraging for fragrant foliage they can use to create this flower & herb perfume. From lavender and lilac to rosemary and sage, your little ones can give their mum their own unique scent this Mother’s Day.

This craft idea is super practical, so it’s something mums can use everyday. Take some petroleum jelly and give it a fragrant twist with this simple recipe. Get your kids to create their own decorative designs to apply to the stylish aluminium tins.

Picture Frame Vase
This adorable craft is perfect for sentimental parents. You’ll need to help with the set up, such as cutting out the contact paper and adhering the photo, but your little ones can paint the jar however they like. Place a cup filled with water inside the jar for your flowers, so you don’t get any water on the photograph.
Starter Herb Garden
For mums who love to cook, garden, or both, this starter herb garden is sure to be a winner. You can buy potted herbs in many supermarkets, or grow your own from seeds. Kids are sure to love the latter, but it takes a little longer. Either way, they’ll have lots of fun painting their flowerpots!
Flower wreath
This glorious flower wreath is so sunny, it’s guaranteed to put a smile on Mum’s face! You’ll need to supervise with the cutting and sticking, but otherwise you can really let your kids get creative with this one. Use whatever paper and paints you have to hand – the brighter the better!
Fox Pom Pom Keyring
This adorable foxy fella is the perfect addition to any keychain. This is definitely a craft more suited to older kids, as making pom poms can be a little fiddly, but we’re sure you’ll agree the effort pays off! You can either purchase a pom pom maker, or use the traditional cardboard method to create these cute fox keychain charms.
