So here we are just a few more days and we still need a gift for Mom.  Finding great printable gifts for Mom this Christmas is pretty easy.  There are plenty of free templates on the Net but not all of them make great Christmas presents to give to your mother.   Here are some ideas for quick printable crafts you can put together for Mom and printable Christmas gifts to give to your mother this Christmas.

Print a 2011 calendar for your Mom

There are printable calendar templates that you can add photos of the kids or family photos to and print.  You can add pictures of the kids and mom or just use photos of the kids and make a present for a grandmother.  A  simple 2011 calendar to put up on the wall makes the perfect last minute gift for Mom.  You could punch holes in the calendars and thread a simple ribbon through to keep the calendar together and make it look a bit nicer.

A Christmas gift that reminds Mom all year long of how much you love her can’t be beat.

Print an award certificate for Mom

Make a great looking certificate for your mother with a photo of Mom and the children together.  You can personalize the gift with a title that makes sense for your mother.  “best friend”, “the #1 hugger”, “the best Mom on Earth”, whatever best signifies the kids’ and mom’s relationship.

Make a printable Christmas card for Mom

A simple Christmas card you can print and give to your mother is a powerful Christmas gift that although seemingly plain and ordinary, can really touch the heart of a mother this Christmas.  When you personalize the Christmas card for Mom, make a note about something that happened this year, let her know you noticed something nice about your relationship, or just tell her how much you appreciate something your mother has done.

Print a personalized set of bookmarks

If your mother is a big reader, give your mother a gift she can really use this Christmas. Printable bookmark templates are a great choice for free Christmas presents children can give to their mother.  There are templates for printable bookmarks that let you customize the text on the bookmarks.  You can make Christmas bookmarks or choose from quite a few other themes with these templates.  I suggest printing a set of different bookmarks, maybe 4 or so.

Print a crossword puzzle, board game or activity you can do together

A simple gift idea that’s often overlooked.  You can make a crossword to print about your Mom, the family, and about the kids.  You can can make a printable crossword puzzle or printable word search about her favorite hobby or about friends.  You can find free printable board game makers out there that let you add your own text to all of the game board squares.  Make a game with questions about things that happened this year, who did what, who went where, etc.  Play the board game together. Hit refresh and you can make several versions for everyone to try to do it together.

Presents that Mom and the children can do together are the best presents you can give your Mother for Christmas.

Christmas is a wonderful time for kids but kids want to share in the gift giving as well.  These are 5 of the best ideas for Christmas presents children can give to their mothers or grandmothers.  Presents don’t have to come from shops or catalogs.  Mothers love presents from their children that the kids put together. When the children put a little thought or effort into it, it means more than anything a mom could get from the store.  Any of these suggestions ought to really make your mother or grandmother have a very merry Christmas.

Happy Christmas!
