If you’re looking for free printable Mother’s Day cards for kids to color, check out this set of 10 unique cards. Each of the printable Mothers day cards have different designs – you’re sure to find one that your Mom (or Grandma) will love. 

One of the best ways to say Happy Mothers Day is with a homemade card. There are so many Mother’s Day greeting cards in the store and all your child has to do is pick one and sign their name. 

This picture shows a little boy coloring in one of the free printable Mother's Day cards to color. The card says Mom with flowers surrounding the word. The card is on a clipboard and he is coloring it in the color green.

Instead, these free mothers Day coloring cards give children the opportunity to customize the printable greeting card themselves. They can not only color in a card with Mom’s favorite colors, but they can add their own heartfelt message as well. It’s a nice mix between a store-bought card and creating one completely from a piece of blank paper. 

A special Mom (or Grandma, Aunt, Godmother, etc) deserves to have a special card just for them. Shouldn’t they get more than just a generic card?

This may be my favorite Mother’s Day coloring card. It is so sweet. With just a little help, even your youngest card could add some crayon strokes to the front of this card. Then you could add your own message inside if your child isn’t old enough to write. 

The card says, “while you may only hold my hand for a short while, you’ll hold my heart forever.” Honestly, this card would also make the best Grandma card, too.

What Ages are the Cards Designed for?

Kids of all ages can color in these cards. Some designs are more detailed and may be best for older kids. But there are plenty of card options for little kids, too. 

Plus, in reality any child can choose any card. Mom will love it – even if the child can’t color in the lines yet.

Are the Insides of the Cards Blank?

Yes, the inside of the card is blank. This allows children the opportunity to add a special message of their own.

If your child isn’t old enough, you can ask them what they want you to write or you could add your own personal note inside.

Where Can I Print the Free Mother’s Day Cards?

You can print them at home on your own home printer or you can send them to a local print shop to be printed. 

What Type of Paper Should I Print the Cards On?

For the best results, you should print the cards on regular cardstock. You can print the cards on regular paper as well but they will not be as sturdy.

Since the designs only use black ink, you can print them on any color cardstock. But, I suggest printing them on white cardstock so that whatever colors the child chooses to color the card really stand out.

Can I Print the Card on Photo Paper?

Please do not print the card on photo paper. Coloring on photo paper can be difficult for children – it can smear and depending on the type of photo paper, the crayons or markers may not work on it at all.

​What Should I Use to Color on the Cards?

If you print the cards on cardstock, you can use crayons or colored pencils. You may be able to use markers if the paper is thick enough for the marker not to bleed through or have any ghosting on the back. Test the markers before coloring. 

What Size are the Cards?

The cards are designed to print on a standard US Letter Size sheet but can be printed on other size papers as well but just may need to be resized. 

Can I Print the Cards in a Smaller Size?

Yesyou definitely can print smaller cards. I love to print these cards off 2 to a page to get quarter-page size cards. Or you could even print them smaller.
