Get arty with a self-portrait of mummy
Mother’s day activities should create special moments that mummy can treasure forever. Getting arty with doing a self-portrait of mummy creates a special moment that mum can treasure and remember forever.
Get out the paint and paper and let kids unleash their creativity by painting mum. They can encourage mummy to pose or take a photo of a pose mummy likes so then she can relax instead of staying still through the whole process of making the portrait. To make the activity even more fun for mummy and mini, they could paint each other’s portrait and have a laugh along the way.
Once the portrait is done, mum can frame it and hang it up for all to see or stick it on the fridge. She can constantly look at it and keep it for the memory of the special moment and treasure it forever!
Host a karaoke night
Rock out to your favourite tunes with mummy by hosting a karaoke night. Encourage mum to let her hair down with family and friends enjoying singing and dancing together. You could make signature cocktails and mocktails based on songs and serve for mum and everyone to enjoy.
Plug in a at home system or boombox and pick out tunes the kids know too so everyone can have a laugh. Mummy and mini can also sing a song together and perform it in front of everyone else to end mother’s day perfectly.
Have a mum’s pick book club
Before the big day, encourage mum to pick out her favourite book that can be used for a mum’s pick book club. Everyone can read the book independently and gather on mother’s day to discuss the book and parts people enjoyed or disliked. Let mum steer the discussion and see her face light up as everyone participates in something she enjoys.
If you have kids that are too little for this, mummy can pick out her favourite picture books instead. This way, mummy and mini can curl up together and read the book out loud or the whole family can join in to create an engaging and immersive reading group.
