Nothing says, “I love you” quite like a handmade gift. Whether it’s a messy finger painting or a pony-beaded pipe cleaner bracelet, we are suckers for those gooey, straight-from-the-heart goodies. That’s why we’ve rounded up seven spots around the city, where creative kids can craft something special for Mother’s Day. (Psst… We know you’ve got May 10th marked on the calendar, right dads?). From recycled flower crafts to hand-squeezed chocolates, click through the gallery to see where you can make heart-melting Mother’s Day gifts.

Home Depot

Take your little ones over to your local Home Depot to tinker up a gift for mom. Their monthly kids’ workshops are a great way to make something meaningful, with a little help from a pro. This month’s class is picket fence picture frames, so have a printed photo at the ready to take center stage in this completed masterpiece. The free workshops start at 9 a.m. and usually run until about noon for registered mini builders. And we love that there’s a bunch of fun extras the kids get to take home, in addition to their completed project---even minis need some swag! A little work apron and a pin will make them feel extra special for completing their project.
