Cute aprons-cards for mom and grandma:
The card can be voluminous, like these flowers (to see how to make it, click on the photo):
Interesting crafts are made in the style of collages. Prepare pictures cut out along the outline from old books and magazines - flowers, animals, children, household items and whatever you like. If you decide, for example, to depict a flowering meadow, then create a background by gluing grass and the sky from colored paper. Let the child decide for himself where to stick flowers, butterflies, birds, clouds. Don’t stop him from creating on his own, and you will get a bright piece of work that you can present to your grandmother or older sister.
When talking about appliqué, we most often imagine paper pieces that create a complete image on a sheet of paper, but not only colored paper can serve as material for it. If your craft depicts a person or animal in clothes, cut out his pants and shirt not from paper, but from scraps of bright fabric or from a glossy magazine.
Pieces of leather and fur are also suitable for applique, and your little man’s hair can be made from woolen threads.
By March 8, you can depict a mimosa sprig with your child in the style of a cut-out appliqué. Draw a stem and leaves on paper, spread the surface of the future painting with glue. Show your child how to tear small pieces from a sheet of yellow paper (or, better yet, a napkin) and stick them on. Mimosa can also be made voluminous. Let the child, before gluing, roll the pieces of napkin into “cute” balls. This will also be a useful exercise for the baby’s naughty fingers.
If you use cotton balls instead of paper, you will get a fluffy willow twig.
You can also make dandelions from cotton wool by placing them on a green “meadow” and drawing stems. Very beautiful and unusual crafts are made from simple and affordable materials: eggshells ( Egg mosaic), semolina, woolen threads.

Flowers can be made voluminous and arranged in vases.
Postcards for March 8th for kids
The easiest thing for a child is to make an applique postcard using a template prepared in advance by an adult, so that all that remains is to glue the details of the craft to the designated place. An older child can color a postcard (coloring book) himself well, or draw his beloved mother, grandmother or flowers for them.
Fans of crafts from plasticine can also make wonderful postcards; just draw a sketch on thick paper with a simple pencil and “color” it not with a pencil, but with pieces of plasticine:
And if the background is also made of plasticine, and even rhinestones and beads are applied, it will turn out even more elegant:
You can choose a more cunning path. For example, embroider a card with floss threads using the isothread technique. This is not difficult at all; 6-7 year old children are quite capable of coping with simple patterns.
When craftsmen get down to business, everything that is at hand is used! This card looks pretty nice, although it is made of absolute garbage - from lacy shavings coming out of a sharpener. It is enough to smear the outline of a figure eight, bird or flower with PVA glue and place rows of shavings on the glue.
But what if you don’t really want to make a complex craft? Then you can simply draw a card or even print and color it. We have a large selection of coloring cards on our page COLORING CARDS FOR MARCH 8 >>
If you are lucky enough to collect shells and sea pebbles by March 8, you can decorate souvenirs with them, for example,

Such work has become traditional in schools and kindergartens. The most popular gift material for mom is colored paper. It is the most convenient way to make a pleasant surprise for a spring day.
Every child wants to surprise his mother, especially on such a spring day. For the holiday, children make various crafts in schools. Anything can be used as a material. In second grade, children can be asked to make clay figures and then paint them. Mothers and grandmothers will put such toys as a souvenir on a shelf or attach them to the refrigerator (magnet).
Crafts made from colored paper
Option #1
You can create a very beautiful craft from colored paper. It is suitable for primary school children. It is done quickly, but it turns out very beautiful.
To create a craft you will need:
Colored paper (green, red, white and yellow);
PVA glue;
scissors;
purple felt-tip pen;
simple pencil.
Creating a masterpiece:
First, lay out all the tools and materials in front of you. First of all, we will make weed. Take a whole sheet of green paper. Now start folding it into an accordion from any edge. You can start from the top or from the bottom, as you wish. Make sure each fold is the same size. When you reach the end, connect the conics to make a fan.
Now he will make tulips. Draw the simplest tulip on red colored paper and cut it out. Fold the red paper four times to make 6 more flowers. Attach the tulip to the paper and trace with a simple pencil. Cut carefully. The result should be 7 tulips.
Next, cut out the daisies from white paper. We do it according to the same principle as tulips. But in addition to the flowers, we also cut out the centers from yellow paper. We also make 7 flowers. We attach the centers to each daisy using glue.
All that remains is to assemble our composition. Glue tulips to the ends of the fan, alternating with an accordion. And scatter daisies in the center and glue them too. Our craft is ready!
Option No. 2
Also, children in first grade can easily make flowers using the origami technique. Since Women's Day is celebrated in the spring, you can make a bouquet of tulips. These will last a long time and delight the mother’s eye.
Colored paper (5 sheets of red and 5 sheets of green);
scissors.
Work progress:
We begin to create a festive bouquet from a bud. Take a sheet of red colored paper and place it in front of you. Grab the top right corner and fold the sheet diagonally to the end. Draw a line and cut. The result should be a square and a wide strip.
Bend the square diagonally, then straighten it. Take the upper left corner and also bend it diagonally, then straighten it again. Now reach out so that both fingers on your right hand are on the same diagonal, and your left hand is on the opposite side. Bend the square into a triangle.
Now take the left corner of the first triangle and flip it to the right. Then turn the craft over. Now there are 3 corners on one side, and 1 on the other. Where there are 3, turn one corner over to the opposite side.
Look carefully. There should be a hole at one end and 4 petals at the other. Blow into the hole as if you were inflating balloons. Then bend the tips of the petals.
Take a piece of green paper and cut a strip the same size as the red paper left over. Then wrap it lengthwise into a thin tube. So our stem is ready. All that remains is to stick it into the hole on the bud. Thus, you need to make the remaining flowers. The result should be 5 tulips. You can experiment with colors and make tulips of different colors (yellow, red, orange).
Option #3
By March 8th, all women are usually given a mimosa. These yellow flowers not only lift your spirits, but also give off a wonderful aroma. You can make such flowers with your own hands. They will delight mom and grandma all year long.
Required tools and materials:
Colored paper (green and pink);
simple yellow napkins;
PVA glue;
simple pencil;
ruler;
paints;
scissors;
disposable glass.
Work progress:
Let's start making the stem. Cut a long strip of green paper. Then twist a thin tube. Apply glue to the ends and wait until they dry. If you don't have glue on hand, use a stapler.
Let's start making flowers. Mimosa flowers resemble fluffy balls. Take yellow napkins and cut 3 cm strips. Fold each strip in half. Next, make cuts along the entire length and roll it up.
The opposite side should be fluffy. Make a lot of these balls. Do the math at the end. It is necessary that the number of flowers be odd. Then glue the fluffy balls to the stem. You can install them tightly to each other, in small piles.
But we will just end up with a bare stem with flowers, so we need to attach leaves. Cut out two long ovals from green paper. Fold in half and make cuts. Spread the leaves, apply glue to one end and attach to the stem.
Original beadwork
By March 8, boys in junior classes for mothers and grandmothers can make their own crafts from colored paper, and girls from beads. Now we will show several ways to create a souvenir.
Small bouquet of flowers
Even a first grader can handle this craft. But basically, only from the 3rd grade do they begin to teach beading. There is nothing complicated in this technique, the main thing is not to rush.
Required materials and tools:
Round beads (pink, green and purple);
wire (not thick enough to fit twice into the beads);
yellow beads;
small, decorative vase.
Work progress:
First we make the buds. Each flower will consist of 5 identical petals. Take a piece of wire, about 10 cm. Insert one pink bead into one end. Wrap the other end and insert the end into the hole, but from the other side. This way you will fix the beads. Now string two pieces and go through them with the other end. Then do the same with three pieces.
The result should be a small pyramid. You should also do up to 5 beads, then go down. That is, first: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; and then: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. At the end, twist the two ends of the wire along the entire length.
Use the same principle to make the remaining petals. We will need 10 pink petals and 15 purple petals. By the way, the leaves are made according to the same pattern as the petals, but from green beads. It's not difficult to count, we need 10 leaves.
For the centers, take a 10 cm wire and secure the bead. There should be 5 centers in total.
The next step is to collect our bouquet. Take 5 petals, place the middle in the center, and twist everything. Take two leaves and also twist them around the stem. Then straighten everything out. Also add all the flowers. Insert the finished bouquet into a vase or tie it with a beautiful ribbon. This is how easy it is to make small souvenirs. To add a spring mood, all the petals can be made multi-colored.
Creative works made from salt dough
Souvenirs made from salt dough will be a wonderful surprise for mom or grandma. This is a safe method, since it does not require piercing or cutting tools. In order for you to get beautiful figures and not fall apart, you need to properly prepare the salty composition. First, we will describe the recipe for salt dough, and then we will describe the process of work.
Required ingredients:
wheat flour;
fine salt;
water.
Preparing the dough:
Take flour and salt in equal quantities and mix. Add some water and knead the dough. Then you need to put it in a bag and place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. After which you can safely begin sculpting. If it seems to you that the dough is not elastic at all, add a little cream. This will be useful for your hands, and it will be more convenient to sculpt figures.
For a souvenir:
Ready salted dough;
gouache paints;
brush;
water;
magnet.
Work progress:
Now it's up to your imagination. You can make small flowers in a basket. First, make a round basket and attach a handle. Place 7 or 9 small flowers inside, like a chamomile, but with 5 petals. Leaves may stick out on the sides.
When everything is ready, you need to wait for the dough to dry and become stone. Then dip your brush in water and start painting. The basket can be made brown, the flowers pink, and the centers yellow. Accordingly, the leaves turn green. You can sprinkle glitter on top.
Our advice to you! Do not wet the brush too much in water, otherwise the paint will run off and the whole craft will be ruined. Next, when the figure is dry, you will need to glue a magnet on the back side. This is an original souvenir that mothers and grandmothers can make for March 8th.
All children want to surprise their mothers on this wonderful spring day. They come up with various souvenirs with their own hands. Kids can make gifts from colored paper, and older kids can do serious things. In general, crafts can be made from anything. You can sew a pillow and embroider a picture of your mother on it. All you have to do is take a photo on a flash drive to a photo salon, and they will transfer the image onto paper.
You can use simpler advice, especially if you don’t have time. Make a card out of cardboard by folding the sheet in half. Then cut out a big figure eight and glue it to the card. Glue flowers around the entire perimeter of the number. Inside you can write beautiful wishes for mommy.
Such gifts are always appreciated as they are made by hand. Your soul was put into their preparation. Use your imagination and surprise mothers and grandmothers with your surprises on this magnificent International Women's Day.

Draw circles on the dress. Roll it up balls from plasticine, and let the child stick them into circles on the dress. By the way, I wrote about activities with plasticine balls and their benefits in the game.
P.S. Using plasticine balls, Varechka decorated the cardboard itself. Since she is still small and does not know how to write herself, we cut out the inscription “March 8” from the newspaper and glued it next to the dress.
3. Craft “Mimosa” (3-5 years)
Do you know why mimosa? It symbolizes the sun, warmth and the beginning of spring. When Slavik made this craft, there was a feeling that everything around was beginning to bloom, although there was still slush and snow in places outside the window.
This crafts I suggest making it for children aged 3 years and older, because it takes a long time to sculpt balls and not every two-year-old child can withstand 10-15 minutes of sculpting.
Material: yellow plasticine; cardboard (ours is from a candy box); colored paper (green).
How to do:
Draw the stems of the mimosa with a green marker.
Cut out leaves from green paper, slightly cut their edges - this way they will look more like real mimosa leaves. Roll balls out of yellow plasticine with your child and let him mold them onto the stems.
4. Craft “Talking Flowers for Mom” (5-10 years)
This craft was made by my older nieces Arisha and Vikusha. per day March 8 their mother will receive a gift that will say it all! like this crafts You can give it to your mother or grandmother not only on March 8, but also on your birthday.
Material: colored paper and colored cardboard
How to do:
Let the child trace his palm on 5 multi-colored sheets and cut out traces along the contours. These will be flowers.
Then you need to cut out the stems and the vase and glue everything onto the cardboard. The child can write on the vase “I love my mother (or grandmother) because...” and on the flower palms are the answers.
5. Craft “Bouquet for March 8” (3-8 years)
When we made this bouquet, we didn’t think it would turn out so... real!
Material:
- colored paper; 2 sheets of cardboard (I used a filter box);
- a round white paper napkin (if you don’t have such a napkin, cut a large circle out of white paper and make the edges wavy);
- ribbon.
How to do:
Cut out flowers and leaves from colored paper. Have your child glue them onto a round napkin.
To prevent the napkin from becoming wavy from the glue and to be more durable, glue a circle of cardboard on its back side.
From the second sheet of cardboard, cut out the base of the bouquet and glue it, as in the photo. Draw the stems with a green marker.
Finally, decorate the bouquet with a ribbon.
6. Craft “March 8” (1-3 years)
And again a craft for kids! We have already prepared a gift for mom (craft 2). Now we will make our grandmothers and sisters happy!
Material: colored cardboard (1 sheet); flowers cut out from magazines, newspapers and leaflets; plasticine.
How to do:
Cut out the number 8 from colored cardboard. For this I needed 2 bowls of different sizes and nail scissors.
Roll balls from plasticine and prepare cut out flowers. Let the child sculpt and glue everything onto the figure eight.
