As a nanny, I’m in a constant search for the perfect crafts for a 1 year old, 2 year old, and 4 year old… and pinterest is my best friend! I absolutely love it for these types of things. This year, in my search to find awesome Mother’s Day Crafts for C & A’s mama, I ran across some pretty awesome, unique ideas, that won’t cost me two of my legs and a liver to help them create! Most of these do require some adult involvment, if not lots of it. For gifts, I am all about useful and elegant. No worries though, they’ll have the opportunity to make plenty of things that are open-ended that they do on their own! I am stoked for this upcoming week; and even more excited for when we deliver the gifts on Friday before I leave! A week of love for mama!
I’ll come back later this week to share what we came up with!
