A Quick And Easy Mothers Day Gift Idea
Today after school Sylvia was bored. Her friend was not playing out and she had “nothing to do”. Well this was according to Sylvia.
As it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday, I suggested she go on the computer and design some Mothers Day labels to make gifts for her grandmother and great grandmother.
So that’s what she did. I showed Sylvia how to use Canva and off she went. She used some of my clip art which I have pre-purchased for blogging and created her own labels.
Sylvia had fun. We printed out the labels and then cut them out and stuck them onto packets.
All the items we needed were allready in the home and left over items which I use for blogging projects so it was virtually a no cost Mothers Day gift.
Sylvia stuck the labels onto the packets and then went about picking out some fun treats to put in the bags. She completed her creation and was really happy.
Yoda and Casper were very interested in the project and they love the smell of sweets but they were not getting any.
We closed up the packets and they are ready for Mother’s Day. Home made, designed by Sylvia, quick, easy and on a budget.
We had fun and I thought I’d share this. If a child can learn to design on Canva, anyone can.

Aww! How lovely! What a thoughtful idea.
It looks like Sylvia had a great time x
She surely enjoyed it!
I love Canva and isn’t Sylvia a super designer! I should let our kids have a go on Canva, but I’ve never get them away from the laptop!
It is a fab program and yes she did great! 🙂
What a great idea, how personal and unique. I think the time taken shows the love better than any shop bought item.
It is lovely and better than a box of chocolates as it’s made with love.
Such a cute personalised gift, the labels have come out really well x
I know. I was well impressed with Sylvia’s designs!
This is lovely. Mother’s Day isn’t all about money but the thought instead.
I agree. Thanks for popping by!
I know what we’ll be doing this weekend. Super idea, thank you!!
ooh do share your photo when it’s complete.
What a fantastic idea – they look great! I love Canva, and as you say, so easy to use, even for someone technically challenged like me!
thanks Tracy
ah these are brilliant – she is MUCH better on Canva than I am!
lol.. she picked it up faster than me!
Ah nice. Your little one is a smart cookie!
I think so too!
These turned out so well – they look great! And lots of fun to do too, great idea.
thanks Nicola. I think they are fab! My mum and grandma loved them too!
