Kids and grown-ups alike focus more on mothers day gifts than on anything else
. It's always about finding flowers or gift baskets. Many people start out by wanting to get a special gift but in the end it all boils down to flowers from the local florist. Then there's finding something for the kids too. Kids don't spend nearly as much time making mothers day gifts as they do engaged in activities for the day. Whether it's coloring or crafting, parents (and teachers) have to find something for the kids to do which is one of getting the kids involved and helping them make gifts. For kids who are too young, the pages they color or the shirts make hand prints on are the only gift they can actually give their moms and is one way of keeping them involved in the holiday.
Another way to get the kids to contribute to a gift for their moms is to teach them how to create that special day. Kids can be given all sorts of trivial tasks around the house that moms usually do so they appreciate her all the more and so that moms can get a break. To get the kids on board tell them you're "decorating the house" for mothers day.
You've often heard the suggestion that cleaning the house can be a nice gift for any mom, get the kids to help clean the house. They can pick up their own toys and help fold laundry. For kids who are a bit older, they can help you make mom's breakfast for the day. Get the kids to make paintings to decorate the dining area and help you create a nice look for the table.
Since you're going to get the kids involved with the arrangements, get a present that the kids can enjoy with their mom like mothers day fruit baskets. It's something the whole family can enjoy together, or if you want to give your wife a real treat, buy her a nice fruit bouquet. Fruit bouquets are fruit sculptures that look like flowers and they're available in lots of mothers day arrangements with chocolate dipped strawberries and dipped pineapple slices shaped like daisies or hearts to make it look all the more delicious.
