Our mothers love us unconditionally, they care for us in every way, and help us navigate through life. We all know that Mother’s Day is coming up and what better way to celebrate than by showing our love and kindness to our moms! Not just our own moms either, but all mothers who deserve something special this Mother’s Day! This month’s challenge has two parts…to do a kind act with your mom and to do a kind act for your mom!

For Part 1 of this month’s challenge, we encourage you to reach out and provide resources for kids who may not be able to do something special for their mom’s this Mother’s Day. Kids who live in homeless shelters don’t necessarily have other family members or the supplies to help make a gift for their moms. So, we’re going to help them out and provide some craft items, so they can make Mother’s Day cards!
Items Needed for Part 1 of this Month’s Challenge
Cardstock – white and various colors
Markers, colored pencils, or crayons (preferably new)
Stickers
Any extra items you would like to add such as jewels, foam stickers, and puff paint
How to Do Part 1 of this Month’s Challenge
First, gather your supplies in a delivery box or bag. Then, find a local family shelter to deliver your craft supplies. It’s important that you deliver to a family shelter because not all shelters offer accommodations for children. Be sure to include some kind of note letting the children know that the craft supplies are meant to be used for making cards for their moms.

For Part 2 of this month’s challenge, we encourage you to do something kind for your mom! There are many ways to show your mom how much you appreciate her and we’ve put together a list below, as well as a Pinterest page which you can check out here! Think about what makes your mom happy and what she’ll appreciate most, and don’t be afraid to do more than one kind act for your mom; she definitely deserves it! If you need help with some of the more challenging crafts or cooking, be sure to ask your dad or another family member, neighbor, or friend to help.
Kind Acts for Mother’s Day!
