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!

1. Terrarium Making: Grow a Tiny World Together

Channel your inner plant parent and create a miniature ecosystem with Mom! This terrarium-making workshop is perfect for anyone who loves a touch of greenery in their life. You'll learn everything you need to know about selecting plants, creating the perfect environment, and keeping your terrarium thriving. It's a low-maintenance way to add a touch of nature to your home, and it's a beautiful and personalized gift for Mom (or yourself!).

💡Crafter Tip: Think outside the box! Instead of a traditional terrarium, consider creating a succulent garden or even a fairy garden complete with miniature figurines. ‍

💎Connection Moment: Think about a small moment you shared with your mom that you cherish. What made it special?

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.

💡Crafter Tip: Personalize your moss art by incorporating dried flowers, shells, or small stones to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

4. Mindful Doodling: Unwind and Connect with Mom

Sometimes, the best way to bond with Mom is to simply relax and create together.

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)!

💡Crafter Tip: Make your llama shine! Add a dab of glitter to the wet paint for extra shimmer and fun
