Struggling to brainstorm new ways to spend quality time with your mom? We've all been there! Let's face it, the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine can get old after a while.
Ditch the dinner and a movie this year! Create something amazing (and have some serious laughs) together with a private virtual workshop from Kits by Food Craft! Gather your whole crew – moms, daughters, sisters, BFFs, the whole family, or whoever holds a special place in your heart – for a fun-filled DIY extravaganza!
Not only will you create something awesome together, but you'll also be making memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, there's the bonus of having a unique, handcrafted gift for your mom, a friend, or yourself (we won't tell!).
Ready to ditch the predictable and embrace something new and exciting? Kits by Food Craft offers private workshops that are perfect for a fun-filled DIY celebration with your family and friends! DIY Activities with Mom:
1. Sip and Latin Rhythm: Move Your Body, Sip Your Drink!

This beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect blend of mixology and energetic Latin dance, designed to get everyone moving and grooving. Kick off the celebration by crafting a delightful tropical drink, a twist on a pineapple sour, with options for spiced rum or a non-alcoholic Lyre's. An expert instructor will lead you through a fun warm-up, basic steps, and an exciting dance combination in your chosen style—Salsa, Merengue, or Bachata—all to the beat of vibrant Latin music.
💡Crafter Tip: Get creative with your Mom's favorite Latin music for some extra practice before the event! Or surprise her with a fun, themed outfit to really get into the spirit.
💎Connection Moment: What's a special song that reminds you of a cherished memory with your mom? Share it with her during the event or dedicate a dance move to that moment!
2. Ceramic Face Planter: Craft a Quirky Conversation Starter

This virtual workshop is all about designing a one-of-a-kind Ceramic Face Planter. Imagine the look on Mom's face when she sees a planter that you designed and crafted yourself (especially if it vaguely resembles your own features – bonus points for humor!). This workshop lets you unleash your creativity and create a functional piece of art that will add personality to any space.
💡Crafter Tip: Make it a family affair! Get siblings or even grandparents involved in creating a collection of mismatched face planters.
💎Connection Moment: Did you have a fun time with Mom outside? Maybe at a park, flower market, or camping? Decorate your planters with colors or things that remind you of that memory! Discuss that memory with each other.
3. Make a Mossy Masterpiece! Easy DIY Wall Art

Moss art is a unique and eco-friendly way to add a touch of nature indoors. In this workshop, you'll learn how to create a Moss Art piece that will be a conversation starter in any room. It's a low-maintenance way to bring the outdoors in, and it's sure to impress Mom with its beauty and uniqueness.
💡Crafter Tip: Personalize your moss art by incorporating dried flowers, shells, or small stones to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
💎Connection Moment: Moss comes in so many shades of green! Ask Mom what her favorite shade of green is, and tell her yours too. Why do you each love your chosen color?
4. Mindful Doodling: Unwind and Connect with Mom

Sometimes, the best way to bond with Mom is to simply relax and create together. This virtual Mindful Doodling workshop is perfect for those who want to de-stress and unleash their inner artist (no experience necessary!). With the help of our instructors, you and Mom will learn simple techniques for creating beautiful and calming doodles inspired by the warm weather. It's a fun and therapeutic activity that allows you to connect with Mom on a deeper level while creating something lovely in the process.
💡Crafter Tip: Make it a journaling session! Use your doodles as prompts for writing down things you're grateful for, what you love about Mom, or even plans for adventures together.
💎Connection Moment: We all have fond memories of creating art as kids. Ask Mom about her favorite art activity when she was young. What did she love to draw or paint? Then tell her about yours, and share some laughs about your messy masterpieces (or proudest creations)!
5. Paint and Meet Llamas: An Unforgettable Animal Encounter

Calling all animal lovers! Combine your love for painting with the chance to Meet and Greet Llamas! Yes, llamas! In this virtual workshop, you and Mom will get the chance to create a masterpiece while enjoying the company of these gentle giants. Expert instructors will guide you through the painting process, while adorable llamas graze nearby (they might even peek their curious heads into the camera!). It's an unforgettable experience that's perfect for creating lasting memories with Mom.
💡Crafter Tip: Make your llama shine! Add a dab of glitter to the wet paint for extra shimmer and fun.
💎Connection Moment: Did you ever visit a zoo or farm as a child with Mom? Ask her about her favorite animal encounter from that time. Tell her about yours too!

These DIY activities aren't just for families and friends! They're also a fantastic way to celebrate Mother's Day in the office and show appreciation to all the amazing moms on your team. Imagine the fun of creating something special together during your lunch break, or even hosting a virtual workshop after work. It's a unique way to bond with colleagues, create a positive and memorable experience, and of course, celebrate the incredible mothers who make your workplace a supportive and nurturing environment.
