Want to really take the tea theme to the next level on Mother’s Day? Have a Beau-TEA-ful Mother’s Day incorporating some of these Tea Party Ideas! Throw Mom a tea party with beautiful decorations, table settings, and tasty treats to make her day truly special.

Supplies:

  • 1 Cardboard Egg Carton
  • Watercolor Paints
  • 1 Sheet White Cardstock Paper
  • 2 Sheets Patterned or Colored Paper (scrapbook paper)
  • 1 White Pipe Cleaner
  • 2 Pipe Cleaners, any color
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • 2 Tea Bags
  •  Scissors


Directions:

1. First, cut 2 pieces of cardstock about 4”x 6” in size and cut 2 pieces of patterned/colored paper about 3”x 5” in size. We used white card stock and colored scrapbook paper.

2. When you have your paper cut, center each piece of patterned paper on top of each white piece, and glue down on them. These are your two cards.

3. Grab your egg carton. Use the bottom part of the egg carton and cut 2 of the egg holders from the end of the egg carton. Cut off one side of each egg holder, making sure to leave the other 3 sides intact. When you lay it down on the flat cut off side, it will look like a little round cup.

4. Once your teacups are cut, use the watercolors to paint each little egg holder cup any color you choose, we used blue and purple. Let these dry for a few minutes.

5. While your tea cups are drying, cut 2 pieces of the white pipe cleaners each about 3” long. Cut 1 piece each of the colored pipe cleaners about 3” long. Twist a white piece with each colored piece so you now have 2 pieces that looked striped.

6. Make each one into a small handle shape and glue each one to the egg holder cups. I glued one end on the inside top, and the other end to the outside so they look like cup handles.

7. Glue each teacup with the flat cutout side down onto the cards. Put one of the tea bags into each little cup and let the string dangle over it.

What better way to celebrate Mom than with the best muffin breakfast ideas for Mother’s Day? We’ve gathered the Best Tasty Muffin Recipes for your Mother’s Day Muffins with Mom Breakfast. Mmm, I can smell the fresh baked muffins already!

Muffins with Mom Muffin Recipes

Muffins with Mom Muffin Recipes for Mother’s Day

One of my favorite memories with the girls is when they were in preschool. The teachers would hold a Muffins with Mom and Doughnuts with Dad breakfast around Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. They were such special moments for the kids and I and provided more than enough adorable memories. Plus, it goes without saying that the muffins were beyond delicious!

I took inspiration from those preschool Mother’s Day muffin breakfasts and put together my own list of the tastiest Muffins with Mom recipes that I hand-picked from across the internet. If you’re searching for the best Mother’s Day breakfast idea, I guarantee this will wow Mom on her special day! Accompany your muffins with fresh fruit, coffee, a mimosa, and/or any other breakfast treats that Mom loves. These make a great addition to your Mother’s Day brunch spread, too! Or if you’re planning to deliver breakfast to Mom in bed, muffins are the perfect option since they’re low on mess. We’ve included fruity muffins, savory muffins, healthy muffins, and more, so you can perfectly cater your Mother’s Day breakfast menu to Mom’s favorite flavors.

Want to complete the experience to truly make Muffins with Mom a unique and memorable event? Don’t forget our Muffins with Mom Invite – a free printable you can use for your breakfast with Mom! She’ll be over the moon seeing the special touches you and your family put into her breakfast celebration. Have fun with Mom, and enjoy!

What supplies will you need for these muffin recipes?

All of these recipes have their own tasty flavors that set them apart from the rest. However, if you’re looking for muffin basics to have on hand, you’ll generally want to have these ingredients. You’ll likely already have most of these ingredients, so once you select the muffin recipe that you think Mom will love, simply shop for the items you don’t have in the kitchen. The remaining ingredients depend on the individual recipes you’ll find below!

Most of these Muffins with Mom recipes call for…

  • Eggs
  • Milk (any milk you have on hand will do, including non-dairy milk like almond, oat, etc.)
  • A neutral oil or butter
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Muffin tins
  • Muffin liners (these are optional, but colorful muffin tin liners really jazz up the presentation of your special Mother’s Day breakfast! If you don’t have any on hand, you can grease your muffin tins with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.)
