Last Minute Mother's Day Craft Activity

Last Minute Mother’s Day Craft

Heads up! Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re in need of a last minute present or just a craft to keep the little ones busy… look no further! Homemade gifts are always extra special and this card couldn’t be any simpler.

Celery Roses – an adorable last minute Mother’s Day craft!

What you will need for Mother’s Day Celery Roses Card:

Paint – extra points if you have Mum’s fave colours!
Paper Plate – or a paint palette.
Card
Paintbrushes
Celery
Tape
Knife

How to make your Mother’s Day Card:

Cut the top off the celery to remove the leafy part (save those for a Mother’s Day drink later!) and then wrap some tape around the middle and another bit closer to the top.
With a knife cut the celery in half just below the tape in the middle. This will give you two separate pieces which you can use as stampers.
Using a paint brush cover the bottom of one of the celery pieces (you can just dunk the celery into a tray of paint but I find painting an even layer gives a better result).

From celery to a cute Mother’s Day Card!

Once covered, turn the stamper upside down onto your piece of card in the position you would like your rose head to be and push down slightly.
Repeat this as many times as you like until you have the amount of roses required. You can use as many colours as you like, using both pieces of celery.

Once you have your roses on the card you can use another paintbrush to draw in a bit more detail like grass, stems and leaves. We also added a little ‘thumb’ butterfly using thumb prints as wings.

And voila! You have the perfect Mother’s Day craft that takes 2 minutes, is extremely fun and your little one can get a bit messy while they do it!
