5 Best Free Chinese Audiobooks for Children learning Mandarin

The first Sunday of May is Mother’s Day!  It so happens that my mom’s first name is also May, so at the end of April, my brain automatically switches to crafting mode because the month of May means celebrating May, my dearest mom!

As a child, I loved making crafts for my mom because no matter how good or bad the crafts turned out, she always seemed so happy to receive my gifts!  I think it’s safe to say that the most meaningful gifts that moms receive are the ones the kids made themselves, pure and one of a kind!

Mother’s Day crafts can be all kinds of things, from the classic handmade cards to handprinted aprons to origami flower bouquets.  The possibilities are endless when it comes to Mother’s Day crafts.  We had so many crafting ideas but many of them were too challenging for the kiddos.  But armed with years of crafting experience, we came up with simple and open-ended crafts that kids can make to express their love for mom, in Mandarin Chinese of course!  One of our favorite ones is probably the "I Love You Mom & Grandma" greeting cards.  With the challenge of traveling during the pandemic, sending a "semi" handmade card to the grandmas would certainly brighten their day!

 

Mother's Day Crafts & Activities

One of the focuses of our activities this year on creating memories together.  We want to make activities that mom and kids can do together.  These mommy and me activities are perfect for a sunny or rainy afternoon.  We hope some of them will become keepsakes, such as our “All About Mom” and “Message to My Dearest Mom” printable that moms can enjoy re-reading year after year.
