Mother’s Day is supposed to be a celebration of Mom, but it’s generally Mom who makes holiday festivities possible. Here are a few kid-driven projects for Mother’s Day that your little ones will be excited to pull off on their own.

Older kids can definitely make this “We Heart Mom” banner on their own. Younger ones might need a bit of help printing and cutting, but they’ll still have plenty of creative input.

A definite upgrade on the noodle or cereal necklace, this button necklace is eclectic and totally wearable. I’ve actually received lots of compliments on mine. Plus stringing up your collection of random buttons is a perfect project for your kiddos — they just might need a little help with the knot.

This breakfast in bed placemat has all the hints the kids will need to do a proper place setting without any help from Mom.
