About Mother's Day

In the United States, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May. It became an official national holiday in 1914. Many other countries celebrate mothers on different dates. In the UK, Mothering Sunday falls three weeks before Easter. Common traditions here include cards, flowers, a homemade breakfast and a phone call to mothers and grandmothers who live far away. Schools often make a card or small gift in class during the week before.

Making Mother's Day coloring pages into a gift

  • Card and envelope: fold a card page in half, color it and slip it into an envelope made from a second colored page.
  • Coupon book: cut the coupons apart, stack them and staple one end.
  • Framed art: put a finished bouquet page in a simple frame.
  • Breakfast tray: lay a colored page under the plate as a placemat.
  • Class project: teachers can send home the all about my mom page, which parents tend to keep for years.
  • Photo card: turn a picture of mom and child into line art with Photo to Coloring Page for a one-of-a-kind card.
