It is fun for kids to come up with their own Mother's Day gifts for mom. Usually dad will take them to the store and they will help pick something out. Or dad will just get something on his own! But if you want to do something a little different this year for mom here are a few gift ideas that don't cost a thing, you don't have to go shopping, and can give her the gift all by yourself (just ask dad for a little help!).

• Cook mom breakfast. Dad will need to help. Give each kid something to be responsible for.
• Take it a step further and cook all the meals for mom on Mother's Day. Dad will need to help.
• With dad's help do the laundry. Remember to put everything away!
• Do the chores (all of them so mom doesn't have to do anything). Each kid can be responsible for a room or a chore. Make sure dad is around to help.
• Make mom a homemade Mother's Day card. Moms love these!
• Make a craft for mom.
• Go for a family walk together and pick mom some flowers.
• Think of what mom really likes to do and do that as a family. Maybe go to the park, or the zoo, or sit quietly in the backyard. Whatever mom loves to do.

There are tons of things you can do for mom that don't cost a thing. Make sure dad helps, especially with those things that can be unsafe for a kid to do on their own. Mom will love the thoughtfulness of your gift and will remember this Mother's Day for a long time.
