8 Fun Ideas for Mother’s Day at Home

Because there are so many fun ways to make Mother’s Day at home extra special.

1. All-ages arts & crafts party. Paints, markers, stamps and stencils—there’s nothing quite like chatting and making together. Mom can work on her project and kids can create a DIY Mother’s Day card or creative masterpiece. (Older kids or partners can take care of clean-up, because Mother’s Day).

2. Bake off / dance off? Yes, please! After all, ain’t no party like a dancing-in-your kitchen party. So pack a playlist with the most danceable tunes and dance the afternoon away while baking up cookies or treats. Or bread. Can’t forget the homemade bread.

3. Movie date. Mom chooses the movie and kids help make sure the popcorn is popping, the snacks are plentiful, and the vibe is extra snuggly.

4. At-home Mother’s Day brunch. Put a fun spin on the classic breakfast-in-bed tradition by hosting a fancy brunch for Mom. Print up a menu, set a pretty table (don’t forget fresh flowers) and kids can welcome mom for a delicious brunch Chez Vous.

5. Afternoon gardening. Whether it’s a bed of flowers, a small container garden, or a veggie garden, working together in the fresh air and sunshine is pure magic.

6. Sushi & karaoke night. Order take-out from mom’s favorite sushi spot (or try making some homemade maki rolls!) and break out the karaoke microphone for a night filled with a thousand laughs.

7. Board game tournament. Turn a quiet Mother’s Day afternoon into a fun family competition by playing her favorite board games.

8. At-home spa day. We love the idea of having a family-style self-care day, because after all, any trip to the spa is more fun with a buddy or two. We also firmly believe that an at-home spa day should include all the things—face masks and mocktails, the fluffiest towels, the loveliest scented candles, the chillest playlist, and of course, DIY mani-pedis.
