Crafting for Mother's Day at primary school: For the best mum

When is Mother's Day? Most people are baffled by this question, but it's actually not that difficult. Mother's Day in Germany for example, is traditionally celebrated every year on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day is a day to honour all mothers and motherhood. To honour her mother, who died in 1905, and at the same time draw attention to women's problems, the American women's rights activist Anna Jarvis called for a day of celebration for all mothers, after her mother had already called for an official holiday for women in 1872. In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson finally declared the second Sunday in May as a nationwide Mother's Day. This idea was taken up in Germany in 1923.

Mother's Day is a great opportunity to simply say "thank you" to the best mum in the world. In addition to flowers and small gifts, homemade presents are particularly popular for Mother's Day. For this reason, themes such as Father's Day and Mother's Day are perfect for crafting in primary school and kindergarten. Our heart-shaped wooden puzzle, a simple tealight holder to paint or an individually painted gift box decorated with glitter, beads, sequins and handmade mini porcelain hearts, in which mums can store their favourite jewellery, are wonderful craft ideas for Mother's Day in primary school and kindergarten. Painting imaginative potholders for Mother's Day at primary school is also a creative gift idea.

What can children make for Father's Day?

Of course, dads are also happy to receive a small gift to honour them. Here too, small gifts such as self-drawn pictures, self-made cards or something to snack on are a nice idea. But what can you make for Father's Day? A wooden picture frame with your own photo or that of your family, beautifully decorated for Father's Day at primary school, is a great idea as a Father's Day gift for crafting with children. All fathers are sure to be delighted. The best thing is that the picture frame can even be hung up using an eyelet with a string. Personalised gifts are always creative and original.

There are various speculations about the origins of Father's Day. One says that two years after the introduction of Mother's Day, the US American Sonora Smart had the idea of honouring fathers with their own day. Although Father's Day exists in many countries, the fact that the day falls on Ascension Day is a German peculiarity. This is because the day originated independently and was traditionally celebrated on Ascension Day. In most countries, Father's Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June. It is also common for men to go out together in a group with a decorated handcart and spend the day together.
