Mother’s Day Craft Ideas from Kids

One of my favorite things about Mother’s Day is getting cute little crafts from my kids. Whether it’s a simple colored picture or something a little more involved, knowing they took the time to make me something special is the best part of the day!  These Mother’s Day Flower Pots are a memorable gift that holds a sweet photo of a Momma’s heart or grand-babies, when given to a Grandmother. Add a touch of chocolate and you have a perfectly rounded gift.
