First Mother’s Day Gift from Baby Crafts

A first Mother’s Day gift from her baby isn’t about how big it is as it might seem small, but it’s more about how meaningful it is. It should carry the weight of the joy, comfort, and security she provides for her baby every day. 

We’ve carefully thought about meaningful first Mother’s Day gifts from babies and concluded that getting crafty is one. Both the process and results will be special gifts mothers will resonate with as long as they are made out of love and care. They can be deeply appreciated even if they seem clumsy. 

The making process could involve her or the dad (if it’s a surprise), aunts, uncles, or everyone in the family and the little one. Now, let’s get started with the list. 

1. Framed Finger Paintings

Set up a safe space for your baby to explore finger painting with baby-safe paints. Some paints can’t be used by children below 3 so go for paints like watercolors, milk paint, and water-based acrylic paints. Let them create abstract art on a piece of paper. While they are at it, make sure to monitor them to avoid them putting their hands in their mouth. Once the finger painting is dry, frame their masterpiece (yes, it is) for a memorable gift. 

2. Pressed Flower Frame

Take a walk with your baby to your garden or park and collect small flowers as you go. Use the flowers your little one and pick to make frame flowers. 

Press the flowers between the pages of a book and let them dry out. Do the gluing and let them stick to selecting the flowers with you. You cut them out afterward and arrange the dried flowers in whatever shape you want. You can go ahead and write the word Mom if you like. Then, you frame it.  

3. Family Tree Paintings with Finger

This craft idea is one most people will love. It involves everyone in the family, making it a fun activity you can do on Mother’s Day. 

Get a drawn tree without the leaves and get your baby-safe painting ready. Everyone dips their fingers into the paintings and presses them on the leaves area of the drawing. 

While the finished drawing might seem messy, this will create a fun and happy atmosphere your little one will enjoy. Also, mark an unforgettable Mother’s Day for your wife.  

4. Printed Poem

There are many poems out there that portray who a mother is. Get one that struck you the most and print it out. Dip your toddler’s foot into a paint one after the other and place it on the paper of the printed poem. You can use it to form whatever pattern or design you are going for. 

Dry it out and present it as a Mother’s Day gift. While you could fold it and use a ribbon to tie it, you can also frame it before giving it to her. 

5. Baby’s Handprint Artwork

Capture your baby’s tiny handprints on a canvas or piece of paper. Remember to use non-toxic paint when creating colorful handprints. Then, add a sweet message, or her name, your toddler’s name, and the date to make it a cherished keepsake.
