Are you looking for Mother’s Day art activities for kids? Did you want to do something quick and easy to set up? Here’s an idea: Let the kids do Mother’s Day Finger Painting. The beauty of finger painting is that it appeals to a wide range of kids ages. Finger painting is especially fun for kids in preschool and kindergarten. Not only do they explore art through touch, but they can also freely express their creativity without worrying about the correct ways of holding a brush or a pencil.
And just in case you feel the need for a more deliberate form of Mother’s Day Finger Painting, I’ve included Free Mother’s Day Printables that your kids can use as a guide. The images are in light gray color so that when the kids paint over it, the outlines blend in well. Some of these Mother’s Day Printables contain short poems for Mom or Grandma.
