Kids Sunday School Crafts

There are so many kids Sunday school crafts to use with your 2-5 year olds for Mother’s Day!  Here are a few ideas, crafts, activities and discussions for your Sunday school lesson on this special day for Moms and caretakers.

Children’s Sunday School Crafts & Lessons for Mother’s Day

NOTE:  Before starting today’s lesson, if you have any children in your class who are without a mother that you make reference throughout the lesson to anyone who plays the mother’s role – such as step moms, foster moms, grandmothers, aunts, and even single parent dads.

Story: 
Today’s theme is Mothers.  Choose a story to read to the class that has a mother as the central character.  Remind the children of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Discuss:
What is a mother?  What does a mother do?  What makes a mother special?  Ask the children to each tell you what they love most about their mother.

Game: (“Momma Says” – usually known as “Simon Says”)
Stand all of the children in front of you so that you are facing them.  You are “Momma”.  Give the children instructions such as “Momma says jump up and down” and the children are follow the instruction.  However if “Momma” just says “jump up and down” the children should ignore the instruction and remain perfectly still.  You can do this and have the children who move when they shouldn’t sit down until you have a winner, or you can just keep going with the whole class for a specific period of time.

Song:   (To the tune of “I love the sun that shines on me”)

I love my mom, she cares for me,
God made my mom, and God made me.

I love my mom, she cooks for me,
God made my mom, and God made me.

I love my mom, she plays with me,
God made my mom, and God made me.

I love my mom, she prays with me,
God made my mom, and God made me.

Sunday School Crafts:
Make a card for Mom.  You will need to supply construction paper folded into a card shape and onto which you have written the word “MOM” across the center.  The children may find this easier if you draw a box around the word so that they know not to glue anything over the line.  You will also need pictures of flowers/flower shapes that have been cut out of colored paper or magazines, glue, and a pen.

Give each child a card and place the craft supplies in the center of the table, but keep the pen!  Use this to go around each child individually and either write for them, or help them write, their name inside the card.
