Teacup Mother’s Day Card Craft

Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft

Who doesn’t love the chance to celebrate Mom? (And as a mom myself, of course I’m totally unbiased!) Regardless of how much I love having a special day dedicated to moms everywhere, kids get so excited to express their appreciation and love for their moms, too. If your house’s day-to-day activities get as hectic as mine do, you’ll know there’s just not much time typically to stop and say how much we appreciate each other.

I know you all love our Mother’s Day resources as much as I love the holiday — one of our more popular posts is our Mother’s Day Preschool Crafts.  Since you all loved those curated Mother’s Day craft ideas, we wanted to come up with something creative and craft our own Mother’s Day Card Craft! This Teacup Mother’s Day Card Craft is for a tea-rrific mom! I mean, whose mom doesn’t love relaxing with a hot cup of tea? Best of all, it’s simple and easy for the kids to create on their own or with Dad’s supervision. This Mother’s Day Card Craft uses upcycled egg cartons, scrapbook paper, and pipe cleaners. Even with it’s humble supplies, this Mother’s Day card for kids looks so impressive. Mom is sure to appreciate all the crafting work that goes into this special Mother’s Day craft!

Be sure to pick up our favorite tea bags! We think your mom will love them too – they make an amazing gift and perfect accompaniment to this Mother’s Day card craft!

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.

Gluing Tea Cups Mother's Day Card Craft

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.

Gluing Tea Cup Mother's Day Card Craft

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

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.)

B – I – B – L – E, yes that’s the book for me…. (song stuck in anyone else’s head?) We have the cutest Sunday School Easter treat for your sweet friends – Easter Bible Cookies! These cookies so so simple, even your little ones can get their hands on it.

Be sure to check out our Christian Easter Crafts (including Resurrection Eggs, Gardens, and Rolls) and our Easter Food Craft Ideas for Kids.

Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies

Ingredients:

  • Fig Newton Cookies
  • Decorating Icing in a color of your choice
  • Red or yellow fruit roll ups
  • Scissors


Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies Ingredients

Directions:

  1. Outline the top of a Fig Newton cookie with a thin rectangle frame of decorator’s icing. This can be in any color that you like, but we prefer white.
  2. Next, make two vertical lines with icing on either end of one side of the cookie. This will make the spine of your Bible.
  3. Draw a cross with icing in the middle of the top of your Fig Newton cookie.
  4. Cut a small rectangle shape from a Fruit Roll Up. Gently push it into the filling on top of the cookie. This will be the top of your bookmark for the Bible.
  5. Cut another rectangle from the Fruit Roll Up, but this time, cut a small triangle out of the bottom edge of it. Gently push this piece into the filling on the bottom of the cookie so that it sticks out slightly. This will be the bottom of the bookmark in your Bible cookie.
  6. Stick the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a bit to let the icing start to harden, or serve immediately.

Free Easter Printables

Free Easter Printables You Want this Spring!


I am not necessarily a lazy holiday decorator, but I am a pretty frugal decorator, especially when it comes to the seasons.  Why? I have a hard time buying new things for the home that are only used for a month or two. Because of this reason, I often look to the internet and Pinterest for help – Thank God for Pinterest! That is why I love these FREE, yes FREE, printables. Pick up these free spring printables to create a pretty accent to your home, your crafts, gifts, tables, and more.  Find everything from inspirational scripture, to adorable treat holders, printable gift wrap, table displays and more.

TIP: Another tip for staying frugal during the seasons, besides looking for printables online, be sure to also use some decorations year around. Take lanterns, mason jars, trays, trivets and more to decorate the home. These serving pieces can be put away when they are not used but can add touches to your home during all the seasons!

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! From a hand print that will one day get larger, to a cute little face that will one day evolve, to a sweet little message that can be read over and over, every single one of these Mother’s Day arts and crafts activities for kids is sure to put a huge smile on Mom’s face. 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. The kids will have a blast creating and crafting their special gifts, and Mom will be so delighted to see what they made!

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.

We also wanted to provide an easy chocolate chip muffin recipe, in case dad is in charge of  recipe or two! We love this chocolate chip muffin recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup almond milk (or regular milk, we like almond)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Optional: white sugar and brown sugar.

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners or baking cups.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, half of the sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Mix well.
  4. In a separate, larger, bowl, place milk, oil, and egg. Whisk together.
  5. Slowly place your dry ingredients and mix into your wet ingredients until dry ingredients are moistened.
  6. Fill your baking cups a little over 3/4 full (not too much – we like them to be large, but not over flow!)
  7. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until slightly brown on top.
  8. Enjoy

Optional: Combine 3 tablespoons sugar to 2 tablespoons brown sugar and place on top of the muffin before baking.
