Mother’s Day Together

1. 1

   After Mother’s Day, use paper and markers to record a few warm or funny moments together.

2. 2

   Begin by remembering the day: “What gift did we prepare for Mom?”

3. 3

   Invite your child to draw the events like a simple comic—for example, choosing flowers, giving them to Mom, and seeing her hold them happily.

4. 4

   Ask for details your child can add: “What color were the flowers? What did Mom’s face look like when she received them?”

5. 5

   If the picture shows only your child and Mom, Dad can smile and say, “I was there too. What did I bring?” and add to the drawing with them.

6. 6

   At the end, help your child label each family member with “Mom,” “Dad,” and their own name.

What to notice

• Describes how the family celebrates Mother’s Day with Mom while drawing Sense of Identity and Belonging
• Writes “Mom,” “Dad,” or their own name Writing

Tips

• When your child draws a person, encourage details such as distinctive features and facial expressions to make the picture richer.

Developmental benefits

• Social/Emotional: Remembering, telling, and drawing a shared family experience helps your child revisit the love and connection within that event.
• Language: Writing “Mom,” “Dad,” or their own name gives your child experience using print to record important people and events.
