Let mom know that every piece of her is loved with this I Love You to pieces card for Mother’s Day. Even the little ones can get in on this super easy craft. And, hand-made cards are one of the best gifts for mom!
There are two printable pages to use for this card. First is the basic card which when folded has a heart and ‘to pieces!’ written on it. The other printout is for the words, Mom, I, Love, You. If you are using this Mother’s Day Card for a classroom of a group, I would suggest printing out the words on different colors of printer paper so that children can mix and match the individual words for a colorful card.
and the individual words. Younger children will be able to practice writing the letters by tracing inside the printed words. A super cute concept, Mom, I Love You to Pieces.
What You Will Need
- Printer paper for the words – pastel paper works well
- Cardstock paper for the card – I used white here
- Markers, crayons or paint to decorate the card
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- PDF printout for I Love Your to pieces card
- PDF printout for I Love Your to pieces words
Putting the Card Together
Start by selecting and printing out the I Love Your to pieces card. I recommend using cardstock paper since children will be gluing lots of little papers to the card. We all know how difficult it is to keep younger children from using excessive amounts of glue 🙂
Fold the card in half so that the heart is on the inside.
Print out the I Love Your to pieces words PDF page. Select a color of paper other than what was used for the card. If you are doing this with a group, the children can mix up the words for a more colorful card. Cut out the boxes that contain the words and tear off small pieces from around the words I, Love and You’.
Now, it’s time to bring out the glue! Glue the word Mom to the front of the card. Then randomly attach some of the torn pieces of paper around the rectangle.
On the left inside page, glue the papers for I, Love and You. Use the rest of the paper scraps to fill in the printed heart.
To finish the card, children can either color in the outlined letters or trace the letters and sign their name.
