Free Printable Mother’s Day Cards to Color

These printable Mother’s Day cards to color have always been a favorite in our home—there’s just something about a handmade card that feels extra special.

These free Mother’s Day printables include five different designs, easy enough for little hands but detailed enough to keep older kids interested too.

Mother’s Day Coloring Cards

There’s something so sweet about printable Mother’s Day cards to color—especially when kids take the time to sit down, grab their crayons, and make it their own.

We’ve been doing these every year since my son was little. Honestly, I still have a stack of them tucked away in a drawer—creases, smudges, and all.

There are five different free printable cards to color in this set, and we’ve used them for everything: last-minute Mother’s Day cards, Grandma surprises, even classroom projects when I used to help out during holiday weeks.

You’ll find designs that are super simple (perfect for toddlers with short attention spans), and some with a bit more detail for older kids who like to take their time.

You can print them on card stock if you want them to last, but regular paper works too. We’ve done both, depending on how organized I was that day! Either way, it’s not about perfect lines or fancy supplies—it’s the effort that counts.

Printable Mother’s Day Cards to Color

These free coloring cards have been a go-to in our house for years. Each one folds just like a store-bought card, but with way more charm (and zero price tag).

There’s even a little “Happy Mother’s Day” message on the back of every design—just a sweet extra touch I wish more cards had when my son was younger.

Here’s a peek at what’s included—and a few notes from our own experience using them over the years:

M is for Mom Card

This one’s bold and fun—just a giant “M” packed with flowers and hearts. My son used to color the entire thing in blue because “Mom likes blue and that’s faster.” One year he added googly eyes for no reason. It was perfect.

Colorful homemade Mother’s Day card with a large, flower-filled letter "M" colored in green, red, blue, pink, and purple. Below it, bold text reads “IS FOR MOM,” and the inside of the card says “Happy Mother’s Day” in cursive font. Purple and pink beaded necklaces are scattered around for decoration.

Happy Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Simple, classic, and always pretty. There’s a bouquet on the front with big lettering, ready to be filled in with color.

We’ve used this one for my mom, too—it’s easy to make it feel a little more “grandma” with a few sparkles or stickers.

Above the bouquet, the card reads “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY” in bold, multi-colored letters. A second card in the background shows a printed “Happy Mother’s Day” message in cursive, and the scene is decorated with pink and purple beaded necklaces.

All About My Mom (and Grandma) Card

Hands down my favorite. These fill-in-the-blank style cards are hilarious and heart-melting all at once.

My son once wrote, “My mom is really good at microwaving things.” Still one of my proudest moments. You get one for Mom and one for Grandma—because they deserve the giggles too.

You can use the full-size all about my mom printable too!

Mother’s Day activity sheet titled “All About My Mom” featuring prompts like “Her favorite book is...,” “Mom’s favorite color is...,” and “Mom would love to travel to...” alongside playful illustrations including a globe, medal, perfume bottle, heart, and crayon. A second card in the background reads “Happy Mother’s Day” in script, and a 24-pack of Crayola crayons is placed in front, suggesting this is a coloring activity for kids.

World’s Best Mom Card

Big trophy on the front, space inside for the kids to list all the things that make Mom amazing.

One year, I got “You are the best because you let me skip math sometimes.” Not exactly my proudest homeschool moment, but hey, it made me smile.

Mother’s Day card featuring a large, hand-colored golden trophy and the bold message “WORLD’S BEST MOM” in pink letters above it. A small gold trophy sits beside the card, and the background includes a second card with “Happy Mother’s Day” in cursive and a strand of shiny pink beads.

Once the kids have colored in their cards, don’t forget to let them decorate the inside too. That extra scribble or surprise drawing always makes me smile.

What Should Kids Write in a Mother’s Day Card?

I’ll be honest—I’m the worst when it comes to writing in cards. My go-to is usually something like: To Mom, Happy Mother’s Day, love Clare! That’s it. Every time.

So if you’re helping the kids fill out their cards and feeling a bit stuck, here are some sweet, simple message ideas that even little ones can use (with a bit of help, if needed):

Thank you for always being there for me, Mom. I love you so much!
Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom in the world! You are my superhero.
You make every day better with your hugs, your love, and your snacks.
I’m so lucky to have a mom like you. You’re my favorite person.
You are the glue that holds our family together. I love you!
You are the queen of our family. Happy Mother’s Day!
Mom, you are my favorite (okay, that one’s an inside joke in our house—but still very true!).

Whether it’s a heartfelt message or a silly one-liner, the best part is that it comes from them.
