O Mother's Day is more than a date on the calendar; is a celebration of the unconditional love, dedication and strength that mothers represent in our lives. It's a day to pause, reflect and thank the women who shaped us, cared for us and inspired us.
To make Mother's Day memorable, Petit Fox Portugal suggests a series of activities that promise to strengthen family ties and create lasting memories. From art projects that capture children's creativity to sharing moments in the kitchen, each activity is an opportunity to celebrate and express gratitude.
1. Custom Arts and Crafts
- Mother's Day Cards: Use card paper, colored pens, glue, glitter and other materials to create unique cards. Children can use their fingerprints to make patterns or draw family portraits.
- Handmade Bookmarks: Use cardboard, ribbons and stickers to create personalized bookmarks. Kids can write messages like “To the best mom in the world” or “Love on your special day.”
2. Cook Together
- Surprise Breakfast: Let the children choose the menu. They can make fun shaped toast using cookie cutters or decorate yogurt with fruit and granola.
- Homemade Cookies: Choose a simple recipe and let the children participate in the entire process, from mixing the dough to decorating the baked cookies with icing and decorations.
3. Outdoor Activities
- Picnic in the Park: In addition to food, bring board games or a ball to play with the family. Don't forget to bring a large, comfortable towel for everyone to sit on.
- Treasure hunt: Hide small gifts like chocolates, small toys or affectionate notes. Make treasure maps for children, with visual or written clues.
4. Plant Flowers or Herbs
- Choose seeds or seedlings together at the local market. They can be planted in pots decorated by the children or directly in the garden. This activity can teach about nature and responsibility.
5. Home Cinema Session
- Transform the living room into a cinema: close the curtains, prepare a comfortable space with cushions and let the children collect entrance tickets.
6. Stories and Memories
- Make a “memory book” with photos and stories written by the children. They can use a photo album or create a handmade book with sheets of paper and a decorated cover.
Remember, the most important thing is to spend quality time together and show how special mom is. Happy Mother's Day!
