What are some good ideas for toddler-made Mother's Day gifts?

I want to do something with Naya that we could give to her mama, that way it's not just ME giving her a gift & it comes from Naya.

We went to this plant store today & my lady got some plants she's super happy about. One's a bamboo plant, another is a peace lily, & the last is a monstera deliciosa. I don't know anything about plants. I like plants though so I asked questions 🤷 that's the only reason I know their names lol.

Anyway, I just had this idea that I should buy 1 or a few plant pots & have Naya decorate them 🙂 my friend gave me this cool idea about getting a dual picture frame & putting Naya's ultrasound along with a new picture of her, then have Naya decorate the frame. I like that idea too.

Feel free to mention things you've done in the past, things you've seen, or your own ideas of gifts a kid could do. I think I'm gonna do my pot idea but I've never done this kind of stuff before so I'm trying to consider everything

I love when my kids color me pictures and my oldest builds me legos. I display both in my office at work. Honestly we all just want a day where we don’t have to be a super hero. Do the chores. Handle bed time. Make dinner or take her out to dinner. Moms work hard on top of working too so a day to just breathe and relax is all I’ve ever wanted. I told my kids dad I want an updated mother’s ring with all kids birthstones.

@MyMonstersAreReal well I do all that stuff already 🙂 the chores, putting Naya to bed, & making dinner, I mean. My gf does it too but I when I'm home I do it the most, just so she could relax more. I suppose on Mother's Day I could do EVERYTHING the whole day though so she could just be chillin all day 😌

@ChiefJustWalks you’re a rare form sir. I have to beg for help at home.

@MyMonstersAreReal it sucks how common that is 🫤 my sister was telling me that her bf hardly changes their babys diapers, never bathes her, doesn't put her to sleep so he doesn't even know her nap schedule.. I hate that but it turns out a lot of guys are like that I guess.

I grew up without my mom & my dad wasn't the type to spend much time with us. I guess I try to make up for that by doing everything I can

Painting the pots is a good idea. I always love getting handmade cards and gifts that I can look back on.

@Notladylike last year Naya was only half a year old so I didn't have her make anything. She's at the age where she could do stuff like that now so I'm excited 🙂

Amazing ideas. Get her little hand prints in there, you'll love looking back on those.

@MarbleMarvel I was planning on adding that 😌 I'll probably do her lil feets too. I think I'm gonna have to lay a sheet down that I don't mind painting up lol

All I can say is that the best gifts I’ve ever received are the ones my kids made themselves
