If your family is anything like mine, Mother’s Day is a day for a huge family lunch after church. I remember those days with such fondness. The weather was almost always perfect – or at least that’s how I remember it – good food, family and lots of laughter.
Now that I have kids – and young kids at that – the day is not quite as relaxing as I remember. So I am always looking for ways to keep my kiddos occupied at the table or give them something fun to do while I enjoy some much needed adult conversation time.

Insert these fun Mother’s Day Activity Placemats. There are 2 coloring pages for the younger ones (or anyone who likes to color) and 2 activity-filled pages for the older kids. I recommend printing them double-sided on cardstock for more durability. If you want, you can even laminate them to use them over and over, plus it will help with the occasional spill by not ruining their hard work.
Don’t forget to follow us on Pinterest for more great ideas.
