We love celebrating the sweet women in our lives—whether it’s Mom, Nana, Grandma, or another special mother figure who deserves to feel the love! And what better way to do that than with a darling Mother’s Day questionnaire? It’s a simple but meaningful keepsake kids of all ages can help create—and one that’s sure to get a few giggles and lots of smiles!
This free printable Mother’s Day questionnaire is perfect for adding a little heart and humor to your celebration. It’s packed with fun questions that give kids the chance to share everything from Mom’s favorite food to what they love most about her. Whether you’re using it at home, in your classroom, or with your church group, this low-prep activity makes a perfect gift for all the special mothers in your life.
There’s just something so special about reading your child’s handwriting and their funny or sweet answers to questions like “My mom’s favorite thing to do is…” or “My mom always says…” These responses might bring out a big laugh—or a few tears (the happy kind!). And the best part? It becomes a cherished keepsake you’ll want to save for years.
We’ve even included space to write in Mom’s name, Mom’s favorite food, and a few silly fill-ins to get those creative little minds thinking. Whether they’re in preschool or older elementary grades, kids will enjoy putting their own spin on this project.
No matter the age, children can complete this Mother’s Day printable with just a little guidance. Younger children may need help reading and writing, while older kids can easily fill in the blanks themselves. All you need are a few supplies:
We always recommend printing this on white cardstock if you want to create a sturdier keepsake. But even regular printer paper works great if you’re doing this in a pinch or with a group!
Teachers and room moms—this one’s for you! If you’re prepping something fun for Mother’s Day or even Teacher Appreciation Week (we know you multitask!), this free printable Mother’s Day questionnaire is totally ready for classroom use. It works beautifully for PreK-12 resources and can be completed during centers, morning work, or as a quiet activity.
We especially love seeing these filled out in colorful crayon or marker, sometimes even accompanied by a hand-drawn portrait of Mom or Nana. You can even laminate them for an extra-long-lasting memory.
Let’s not forget the special women in our lives beyond Mom. We’ve found that this printable makes a sweet grandma questionnaire too—just tweak a few words, and it’s ready for Nana, Mimi, or whatever your kids lovingly call their grandma.
You can even print out a second copy and surprise both Mom and Grandma with their own fun gift!
Once your child finishes their completed questionnaire, here are a few cute ways to wrap it up as a special gift:
It’s the perfect little add-on to a handmade card, and a lovely sentiment to include with any gift, big or small.

Teachers are the heart of our children’s education, and Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to show them how much we value their dedication and patience. A simple yet meaningful way to express your gratitude is with a thoughtful gift—and what better way to say “thank you” than with a potted plant?
This DIY plant gift is a wonderful way to brighten up a school teacher’s day. Whether for Teacher Appreciation Day, the end of the school year, or just because, a beautiful plant serves as a lasting reminder of your gratitude. Plus, we’ve made it easy by including a free printable tag to add a heartfelt touch to your gift!
We LOVE teachers. We have been blessed to have many amazing teachers touch the lives of our kids. A lot of my children’s teachers have actually become great friends of mine as well. I’m so grateful for the loving care and concern they have for each of my kids.
Teachers juggle so much throughout the school year—lesson plans, grading papers, and keeping up with a classroom full of curious minds. A potted plant is an excellent choice because it’s low-maintenance, long-lasting, and adds life to any classroom environment or home.
Unlike cut flowers, which fade quickly, a hardy plant will continue to bloom and grow, just like the knowledge and encouragement a kid’s teacher provides every day. Plus, plants naturally improve air quality, making them an ideal gift for busy teachers who deserve a refreshing space.
When selecting a perfect plant gift, consider options that are easy to care for and thrive indoors. Here are a few great choices:
Snake Plant – Nearly indestructible, this plant is a great option for classrooms or homes with little sunlight.
Fresh Herbs – Basil, mint, or rosemary are practical and smell amazing!
Flowering Plants – Small potted flowers like African violets add a cheerful pop of color.
Ferns – A beautiful indoor plant that thrives in low light and adds a lush touch to any space.
Pair your plant with a cute flower pot, and you’ve got a thoughtful gesture that any special teacher will love!
This teacher appreciation gift is super easy to put together, and kids can help too! Here’s what you’ll need:
A potted plant of your choice
A flower pot (decorate it for a creative idea!)
Our free printable tag (download below)
Ribbon for attaching the tag
A heartfelt note to personalize your gift
First, download and print our free printable tag on sturdy paper. Card stock works best to ensure it holds up. Cut out the tag and attach it to a craft stick or tie it with a ribbon around the plant.
Encourage your child to write a thoughtful note to their kindergarten or school teacher. A few kind words of appreciation can make all the difference!
Place the plant in a decorative flower pot, attach the tag, and it’s ready to go! Hand-deliver it to your child’s teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week, or surprise them on the end of the school year with this perfect gift.
You can download my free printable poem tag below to go with this gift idea.

Pair it with a small treat – Add a bag of tea, chocolates, or a candle for an extra special teacher gift.
Customize the flower pot – Let kids paint or decorate the pot for an original DIY touch.
Gift it to multiple teachers – This works for classroom aides, music teachers, and coaches too!
A potted plant is more than just a gift—it’s a symbol of growth, patience, and appreciation. Whether you’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Day or wrapping up the end of the school year, this lasting reminder of your gratitude will bring joy to any special teacher.

Easter is just around the corner, and that means it’s time for painting eggs and getting creative with festive Easter crafts! If you’re looking for a fun way to decorate without the mess of traditional dyes, these watercolor Easter eggs are the perfect Easter art project for kids of all ages.
Using liquid watercolors, watercolor paper, and a few simple tools, you can create beautiful, pastel-inspired Easter egg art that looks straight out of a storybook. Plus, this craft is a great way to invite children (even toddlers) to explore colors, textures, and artistic techniques in a fun, engaging way.
Grab your small paintbrush, watercolor pencil, and white cardstock, and let’s get started on this easy Easter craft!
My kids love to have fun little art projects. Sometimes I am a fun mom and put something like this Easter Egg Watercolor Resist Art together.
It’s super easy.
This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we make a small percentage. It doesn’t cost you anything more.
Before we begin, gather these materials to make your Easter egg art come to life:
Start by printing or tracing an Easter egg template onto watercolor paper or white cardstock. If you don’t have a template, simply draw an egg shape freehand and use scissors to cut it out.
Once your Easter egg art is ready to paint, set up a bowl of clean water, paper towels, and your liquid watercolors to make cleanup easier.
Before painting, use a water color resist medium (like a white crayon or wax) to draw patterns on the eggs. When you apply the watercolors, the waxed areas will resist the paint, revealing fun designs. This technique is perfect for layeringcolors and creating unique textures!
Now the fun begins! Dip your small paintbrush into the liquid watercolors, then apply light strokes onto the paper eggs. Let kids experiment with pastels, layering different shades, and even mixing colors to create a cool watercolor effect.
Encourage them to play around with lighter colors by adding more water or dabbing with a paper towel to soften the look.
Patience is key! The drying process allows the colors to settle and blend beautifully. Once dry, you can go back in with a marker or watercolor pencil to add final details like dots, stripes, or swirls.
Once your Easter egg art is completely dry, it’s time to display it! Here are some fun ways to use your watercolor Easter eggs:
This Easter art project is great for all ages, from toddlers to older kids. It encourages creativity, strengthens fine motor skills, and offers a mess-free alternative to painting eggs with traditional dyes. Plus, the watercolor effect gives each egg a soft, artistic look that’s truly one of a kind!

April 1st is just around the corner, and you know what that means—April Fool’s Day pranks! It’s the perfect opportunity to bring some laughter, mischief, and silly surprises into your home. If you’re looking for a classic prank to pull on your kids, a good April Fool’s prank for your best friend, or something harmless but hilarious for your family members, we’ve got you covered with this list.
From twisting everyday objects into hilarious pranks to pulling off great April Fools’ pranks with food, there’s no shortage of inspiration here. Grab some supplies and get ready for giggles, big laughs, and maybe even a little panic (all in good fun, of course)!
Happy April Fool’s Day! Let’s dive into some of the best April Fools’ pranks to try this year.
Food pranks are always a hit because everyone loves a treat—until they realize something’s not quite right!
Pour your kid’s favorite cereal and milk into a bowl the night before, and stick it in the freezer overnight. In the morning, watch them try to dig in with their spoon—only to find their breakfast is frozen solid! Bonus points if you casually hand them a straw instead.
Tell your family members or best friend you baked a fresh batch of brownies—only to hand them a plate of brown construction paper cut into letter “E”s! Want to soften the blow? Have some real dessert on hand as a sweet treat after the prank.
Swap vanilla frosting for cream cheese in a sandwich or replace the cheese in a cheese sandwich with slices of orange-colored plastic wrap. Wait for the first bite and the hilarious prank reactions!
Pour juice or soda into cups and let them set with gel overnight. When your kids try to pop in a straw and take a sip, they’ll be completely confused!

Household Pranks – Easy Yet Effective
Sometimes, the best April Fool’s jokes are the simple ones that make everyday life just a little more ridiculous!
Stick googly eyes on everything in the fridge, pantry, or even on family photos for an instant giggle every time someone opens the door.
Place a small piece of plastic wrap under the cap of a shampoo bottle, lotion, or condiments like ketchup and mustard. Your family members will be squeezing with all their might and wondering why nothing is coming out!
Roll out some toilet paper and write “YOU’RE OUT OF LUCK” on the last few sheets. This April Fool’s Day prank works especially well in the bathroom first thing in the morning!
Place a small ice cube under the fitted sheet of your kid’s bed before they climb in at night. It’s cold, wet, and guaranteed to get a reaction!
Since we all rely on our phones and computers, messing with technology is a fun way to confuse your family members!
Send a confusing or silly April Fool’s text prank to a best friend—like “I can’t talk right now, my pet goldfish just learned how to do backflips!”
Take a screenshot of your child’s phone home screen and set it as the background. Move all their apps into one folder so nothing works. Watch them frantically tap at their screen, wondering what’s wrong!
These classic April Fools’ pranks never fail to deliver some big laughs and hilarious prank reactions!
Tape a plastic bug to the inside of a lampshade or under the toilet seat. The second they flip the switch or lift the lid, let the panic ensue!
Fill a closet or shower with balloons. When someone opens the door, they get a funny (and slightly overwhelming) silly surprise!
Take the batteries out of every remote in the house. When no one can figure out why the TV, sound system, or gaming console won’t work, casually suggest, “Maybe it’s time to call tech support.”
April Fool’s Day is the perfect opportunity to add a little chaos to your kids’ morning!
Pillow Trick – Stuff family members’ pillows with wrappers or condiments for a funny wake-up call.
Upside-Down Closet – Turn all their underwear and clothes inside out the night before.
Rearrange the Kitchen – Move all the spoons and forks to a completely different drawer and watch as confusion sets in.
Egg Swap – Hard boil all the eggs in the fridge, then sit back and watch your kids try to crack them for breakfast!
Remember, April Fools’ pranks should always be fun and harmless. The goal is to bring laughter, humor, and giggles—not frustration.
We hope these best April Fool’s pranks bring you plenty of big laughs and fun surprises this year! Share your favorite pranks with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, and let us know how they went!

Free printable Easter Bunny Mask (download below!)
Cardstock or thick paper for durability
Scissors
Hole punch
Elastic string or ribbon
Pom poms, gift bows, or stickers for decorating
Hot glue gun or glue stick
Crayons or markers for extra coloring
Start by downloading the free printable Easter mask (link below) and printing it onto sturdy cardstock. This makes sure your bunny rabbit mask holds its shape while kids wear and play with it.
Use scissors to carefully cut out the bunny face mask, including the cute rabbit ears and eye holes. Younger children may need a little help with this part, making it a great fine motor skills activity!
Now the real fun begins! Grab some pom poms, bows, and other fun embellishments to decorate your Easter Bunny Mask. Want a white rabbit look? Use cotton balls to give it a fluffy texture! Want something colorful? Add markers, stickers, or glitter for a festive pop!
Use a hole punch to create small holes on either side of the Easter mask, then thread through an elastic string or ribbon. This will help keep your bunny rabbit mask in place when worn.
Your funny mask is now ready to wear! Let the kids put on their egg hunt party masks, take silly selfies, or even use them as part of a dress-up game.
