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.

These make cute cards for Mother’s Day or anytime! They would be SO fun for a tea party, too!

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

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.)

Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids

As a former teacher, I always loved getting my students to put together a cute, handmade Mother’s Day gift for their moms. Not only did they love the activity, but I loved getting to see the fun they had while they made a special gift to celebrate their moms! It’s so fun to be a part of a memory frozen in time. And as a mom myself, I can only imagine the joy that receiving those crafts brought to the moms of my students at home!

Since my love of teaching and all things arts and crafts lives on, I wanted to gather all of the best Mother’s Day craft ideas — specifically, Mother’s Day crafts for preschoolers and elementary students, because I worked with younger students when I was a teacher!

When I think back on my favorite Mother’s Day gifts from my own kids, they were all the handmade works of art that they made in school. There’s just nothing better than knowing they worked hard on an adorable gift for their mom!

Keep reading to browse some of the most perfect Mother’s Day Crafts for preschoolers, elementary schoolers, and younger kiddos in general to use in the classroom or at home this Mother’s Day.

If you want the best mothers’ day gift I ever received (and with 5 kids, a lot of years, years of teaching and even more years of creating Pinterest I feel qualified to tell…), my kids made me this beaded wire rock picture frame. It was the cutest Preschool Mother’s Day Craft ever!

Supplies include: Acrylic Paint, a Thick Wire (1MM – 2.5MM is a great size) and Large Hole Plastic Beads. No photographed, i personally added a mini clothespin to help keep the photo in place.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners or baking cups.

In a separate, larger, bowl, place milk, oil, and egg. Whisk together.
Slowly place your dry ingredients and mix into your wet ingredients until dry ingredients are moistened.
Fill your baking cups a little over 3/4 full (not too much – we like them to be large, but not over flow!)
