Mother’s Day Ideas

 

Using Instagram for Mother’s Day Craft Inspiration

It’s a Mother’s Day tradition for students to create something crafty to celebrate their moms. From the traditional-tried-and-true projects that use pasta or popsicle sticks to the mason jar indoor herb garden trendy, we’ve got you covered!

Here is a list of 10 Mother’s Day Instagram hashtags we hope will spark joy and inspire your students’ creativity: 

#mothersdaycrafts 

This Insta profile showcases projects that use paint, paper, popsicle sticks, pots, pasta, and pipe-cleaners. Your students will have fun creating with these easy-to-make projects. 

#mothersdayideas 

From simple, to slightly more complex, this account includes an article titled â€śWhat you need to do for your partner on Mother’s Day” as well as suggestions for funny cards. 

#teachercrafts  

With the focus on primary students, the crafts here are simple and creative.

#mothersdaycookies 

Food is fun! If you find yourself in an arts & crafts funk, maybe it’s time to break out the cookie cutters and get crazy! Most people enjoy a sweet treat! As you plan, remember food allergies and restrictions.

#mothersdaycard 

Making cards for moms is a chance for students to express themselves in writing, with art, or both! Your students may surprise you with their heartfelt sentiments and color combinations. Move over Hallmark! 

#craftswithkids 

While this site offers crafting ideas for any time of the year, many of the projects can be customized to your celebration. Plenty of inspo here! 

@artwithjennyk

Like Alice in Wonderland, @artwithjennyk is an Insta account I found as I ventured down many-a-rabbit-hole. Her cheerful “anyone can do it” attitude will encourage you and your students to give her ideas a try!  

@iheartcraftythings

Brilliant in their simplicity @iheartcraftythings features general craft ideas. Rachel’s “crafty things” can be customized to fit your class theme.

#mothersdayprojects 

Who knew? An actual Instagram hashtag for Mother’s Day projects! Clearly a find as it includes the classic Mother’s Day craft traditions from years gone by, as well as heartfelt ideas that celebrate moms.  

@TargetTeachers 

Target knows teachers and teachers know Target! Now that you’re inspired, head to Tar-jay for your art supplies (and maybe groceries, a swimsuit, toilet paper…) in one fell swoop! 

Enjoy creating! Happy Mother’s Day!
