Cards for different ages
The set includes simple card designs with large areas to colour, as well as templates with flowers, hearts, patterns and spaces for a longer message. Younger children can add colours, stickers or a handprint, while older children can write several sentences and add their own illustrations. Some cards can be folded, and others work well as a decorated note or postcard. Children may make a card for their mother, grandmother, aunt or another caring adult who is special to them.
Ideas for home and class
At home, let your child choose a card and talk about one thing they appreciate before writing. In class, children can first make a rough list of kind words, then copy their favourite sentence into the card. A small display can show the outside of the cards without sharing private messages. Pair younger children with an adult for cutting and writing, and invite older children to plan a front design, message and signature. You can pair this activity with Thank You Cards when children are learning how to express gratitude.
Helping children write a personal message
Children often write only "Happy Mother's Day" and stop, or copy the same sentence from a friend. Help your child add one real detail, such as a meal you enjoy together, help with homework or a favourite bedtime story. Younger children can finish a sentence such as "I love you because..." and tell an adult what to write. Remind older children to leave space between words, use a full stop and sign their name. A short, honest message is enough, and the child's own words matter more than neat lettering.
Lumi's tips
- Make it easier by offering two or three colour choices and letting a younger child dictate the message.
- Make it harder by asking your child to write a short poem or add three specific reasons for their thankfulness.
- Keep it personal by adding a small drawing of a shared activity, favourite food or place.

Questions parents ask
What can a child write in a Mother's Day card?
A child can write a kind wish and one personal detail, such as "Thank you for reading with me" or "I love our walks together." Younger children can dictate their message to an adult.
Can these cards be used for a grandmother or another caring adult?
Yes. Children can choose a card for a mother, grandmother, aunt or another caring adult. They can change the greeting and message to suit the person receiving it.
How can younger children make a Mother's Day card?
Give them a simple design with large spaces to colour. They can add fingerprints, stickers or a small drawing while an adult writes down their spoken message.
How do I download and print these Mother's Day cards?
Choose a template, download the PDF and print it from your EarlyActivity account. The files suit A4 and US Letter paper, and the print setting should be Actual size, or 100%.
When should a child make a Mother's Day card?
Make it a few days before Mother's Day so there is time to colour, write, cut and fold the card. A child can also make one during a class activity and take it home.
