Great Mother's Day Craft Projects for Children & Adults

Usually when I go looking for craft ideas on the net, I don't find anything very unique and honestly rarely find anything I would want to give (or receive)... oops, did I say that? Of course when your child makes you almost anything at all, it's precious, but if you're overseeing the craft, wouldn't you like to have them create something worth making? Maybe something they could also make for Grandmas, Aunts, and other important women in their lives? Perhaps showing them a little skill along the way?

Maybe I'm too harsh. I just know that when it comes to my own 7 year old daughter, I like to make things with her that are keepers. Things that are either just too cute not to hang onto, or things that hold up over time. It's really cool if you can find a craft that achieves both!

In any case, I just found a really cool website loaded with crafts for adults, and for children alike. I think it's mainly catering to adults, but many of the featured crafts would make for great family projects on a rainy day and will no doubt inspire a lot more excitement than making a pipe-cleaner worm for your pencil. Sorry if I've offended any pipe cleaner fans (I've seen them used in marvelous ways!) or worms.

Check out AllFreeCrafts.com and do some looking around. I love that this site gives you pictures and directions. It's the same type of excitement I feel when I find a recipe site with photos. If I don't know what my end result should look like, I'm less apt to attempt the project at all.

If you're looking for gifts specific to Mother's Day, you'll want to look at their Mother's Day Craft section. I'm just really impressed. All this great information for free has me all aglow! Ok, so I'm a bit of a geek, but like I tell my son, geek's have more fun.
