Why not combine a card with a craft for Mother’s Day this year! The kids will have so much fun making this egg carton Mother’s Day card for mom’s special day.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to break out the cards and crafts. I’ll be back on Sarasota’s Suncoast View co-hosting and doing a Mother’s Day segment and I knew I needed to come up with a fun, yet simple, card for Mother’s Day. Last year I shared my favorite Mother’s Day questionnaire so this year I wanted something new.

I’d also need new crafts. Some of my favorite crafts from previous years are these DIY tile photo coasters and a super easy photo cube. The best part about this card is that it combines both a card AND a craft. Plus, it’s easy to make.

Easy is the key word since Dad is usually the one making these with the kids (after all, mom can’t help with her own gift, right?). My hubby is talented in a gazillion ways but crafting is not really his thing. However, he’ll have no problem helping the girls with this cute card for mom.

Egg Carton Mother’s Day Card

The only tricky thing about this is that you need to start saving those egg cartons ahead of time, especially if you need more than one color. If you forget, don’t worry! Just buy some eggs from the store, put them in a bowl and start cutting up that carton. Once you’ve got the egg cartons squared away, you just need a few more supplies and you’re totally good to go…
