As you know, I'm a big fan of the DIY… especially when it comes to gifts for me or John. I love it when the kids really put their heart into making something special. That look of pride when they hand it over is really the gift you receive.

I gathered together a list of some great DIY projects that are perfect for kids to tackle this Mother's Day. I know I'm straying away from the sacred 'macaroni necklace' territory, but all of these are very easy and require very few items. A little help from dad, perhaps, but perfect for those little crafters around your home.
