Now that spring’s here, is there a better way to spend time together as a family than by heading outdoors and soaking up some sunshine?

Frame your favorite photo as a daily reminder of your fun Mother’s Day celebration with your family. We like the idea of spending Mother’s Day enjoying your family’s company and printing photos (or other photo keepsakes, many stores have a laundry list of affordable options) after the fact.

If your little ones are too young still to make Mother’s Day gifts on their own, have this easy-peasy salt dough recipe ready for dad so you can make handprint and footprint keepsakes. From The Imagination Tree, this baby-friendly craft is the perfect gift for any new mom and contains only three ingredients. If your partner’s feeling extra crafty, let him know that he can add food coloring to the dough to make a rainbow of baby handprint and footprint molds that are perfect gifts. Parents know how quickly babies grow up, so what better way to capture their newborn stages than with these molds?
