Speaking of flowers, another angle for Mother's Day preschool activities would be a flower wreath for mom. This could be put together a few different ways.

The easiest would be to use paper plates and have the kids draw on their own or paste flower templates around the edge for the wreathe.

Another way would be to use a Styrofoam ring and poke some pipecleaner flowers into the ring for the wreathe.

Memo boards and photo frames are another mom favorite.

Have some chipboard handy that the kids can decorate for either choice. With the memo board cut the chipboard (or similar) a little larger than a memo pad. Have the kids decorate the board, then glue the memo pad to the middle.

With the photo frames use something similar and a little heavier if desired and cut it a little larger than the photo. Once decorated, glue the photo to the board.

Heart Crafts -

Hearts show love and kindness.

With this Mother's Day preschool activity moms will burst with even more love. Provide a foam heart to each child along with squares of different colored tissue paper.

Have the children twist the squares and glue them on to the foam art in their own design for a gift to mom. How about a beating heart? See the video below:
