Mother's Day crafts for kindergarten can be tricky to finagle in the classroom. Time is precious and yet creating a special mother's day gift does top out the list every year of must-dos.

Here are some creative and sweet kindergarten crafts for Mother's Day.

13 Easy Kindergarten Mother's Day Crafts

The range of projects in this list ranges from projects that you can assemble the materials and kindergartners can do by themselves to projects that require a lot of adult work.

It took me a few years before I landed on a project that I wanted to do for more than just one year. I hope that this list can help you find something you'll love to do every year!

Crafts Kids Can Do All By Themselves

I love it when I found projects that my kinders could do all by themselves.

These projects take modeling and prep of course, but the process from start to finish can totally be done by five and six-year-olds.

There are more projects on this list, but the:

  • 'love you to pieces' card
  • thumbprint necklace and
  • tissue paper flowers

are just perfect for K.

Students may need a little help threading the thumbprint necklaces.

Mother's Day Crafts {Some Teacher Involvement}

These kindergarten projects for Mother's Day are pretty awesome but do require a teacher to step in before the project is complete... or they require additional prep work and/or materials.

I think you'll love these unique Mother's Day crafts!

You'll want to weigh the cuteness against the work factor - but they might just be right up your alley!
