It’s almost Mother’s Day! What sort of plans do you have with your mom for 2010? Some people go for the traditional, such as taking mom out for dinner or having a family outing. Others, however, might look to do something a little different. Here are some fun activity and gift ideas for Mother’s Day for those looking to mix it up a bit this year.
Get creative! Moms love it when their kids are creative, no matter what age those kids may be. Younger kids can make custom puzzles for mom using special puzzle sheets that are pre-cut. Just draw on them, punch them apart, and mix them up. Older kids might want to create a scavenger hunt for mom that eventually leads her to a bright bouquet of flowers or a special breakfast cooked just for her.
Do you sing or play an instrument? How about writing a song just for your mom? It doesn’t have to be very long, and you can always write new lyrics to a song you already know how to play. This is a great way of telling your mom how much you love her, and she’s sure to appreciate the work you put into your lyrics. If you’re not musical, you can always write her a poem or even a story. Smaller children could draw pictures.
If you’re technologically savvy and can’t make it to Mother’s Day in person, set up an online video call between your family and your mom. While a phone call is great, you’ll make mom’s day if she actually gets to see you (and any kids you may have).
How about making mom feel like a queen? You can get a plastic tiara and royal scepter from just about any store that carries party supplies. Or you can get a sash and decorate it with “World’s Greatest Mom” and make her feel like she’s won a beauty pageant. Of course, if you name her the queen, you have to follow her royal decrees!
