Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Free Printable Cake Topper: Step-by-Step Guide and Decorating Tips
Mother’s Day is a time to show appreciation for the incredible mothers in our lives. What better way to celebrate than with a beautifully decorated cake and a little party for mom at home? In this blog post, we’ll talk about how to make mom’s day special right at home and I’ll guide you through creating a stunning cake topper using a free printable design. Let’s make this Mother’s Day extra special!
Here are some ideas for Mother’s Day:
1. Order from her favorite restaurant. You’ll give Mom her favorite food and help out your local business.
2. The kids can make mom a simple cake or cupcakes (We use a cake mix. The easiest way to make cake ever!). Decorate them with these lovely cake and cupcake toppers I designed just for you! You can download them at the bottom of the post.
3. Got some Rice Krispy? Make her these cute heart-shaped Rice Krispy treats instead of cupcakes. You can still stick your free cupcake toppers on them.
3. Pamper her with some lovely gift sets. I’m hinting to my husband to get me this gift set or this care package that includes an adorable tumbler. If these don’t get there on time. Your local drug store such as Walgreen or CVS might have some cute gift sets. If you’re worried about going to the store ask if they offer deliveries of those items along with essentials.
4. Make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift set yourself. Buy some of her favorite makeup or nail polish. Add in her favorite snacks that she can’t normally eat in front of the kids and a card. She’ll love you for it.
5. If mom loves flowers, you can still get them at your local grocery store as well as home improvement stores, such as Home Depot. My husband got me some peonies from Home Depot and planted them for me in our garden. He’s awfully sweet that husband of mine!
6. The best gift you can give Mom during this time of quarantine is a clean house and maybe 2 hours of quiet time after you eat the homemade Mother’s Day cake.
There you have it. Some very simple ways to give mom her best Mother’s Day yet! Set up the house for a party with banners, cake, and cupcakes. Gift her with her care package and some love this Mother’s Day!
Save the file to your computer and open it using a PDF reader.
Load your printer with the chosen high-quality paper or cardstock.
Print the cake topper template, ensuring the printer settings are set to “Actual Size” for accurate dimensions.
Once printed, allow the ink to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Cutting and Preparing the Cake Topper:
Carefully cut out the cake topper along the designated lines using sharp scissors or a craft knife.
Take your time to achieve clean and precise cuts.
If you have a cutting machine, you can use it as an alternative method for cutting out the topper.
Decorating the Cake Topper:
Now comes the fun part—decorating your cake topper!
Use colored markers to add vibrant hues and personalize the design.
Consider adding a touch of sparkle by applying glitter to specific areas.
If you have adhesive gems, place them strategically to enhance the topper’s visual appeal.
Let your creativity flow and make it uniquely beautiful!
Placing the Topper on the Cake:
Once you’re satisfied with the decoration, it’s time to place the topper on the cake.
Carefully insert toothpicks or small skewers into the bottom of the topper to create support.
Gently position the topper on the cake, taking into account the size and stability of the cake.
If needed, adjust the positioning for the best visual effect.
Remember to remove the topper before serving the cake.
Creating a memorable Mother’s Day celebration doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By using our free printable cake topper template, you can easily add a touch of elegance and personalization to your Mother’s Day cake. Enjoy the process of crafting this special decoration, and most importantly, cherish the time spent honoring and appreciating the amazing mothers in your life.
Teach preschoolers how to count while working on their fine motor and handwriting skills with these Count and Color St. Patrick’s Day activity pages.
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a fun and educational activity for your little ones? We’ve created a cute St. Patrick’s Day-themed count and color printable that’s perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners. This printable is in black and white, so children can color in the items as they find them, adding an extra element of fun to the game!
Benefits of playing this Count and Color St.Patrick’s Day activity for kids
This activity page might look like a simple activity to keep your kid busy, but there is a great deal of learning going on!
Visual discrimination: Enhances focus and the ability to differentiate between shapes and details.
Fine motor skills: Improves grip strength and fine motor control while using pencils, crayons, or other writing tools.
Memory: Develops memory as children remember what they’re searching for and match similar items.
Counting and number formation: Promotes counting skills and proper number formation. Encourage further discussion by asking about quantities (e.g., which item has the least, the most).
Your freebie includes three activity pages with 3 levels of difficulty: easy, harder, and hardest.
Usage and Printing
Print these Count and Color St.Patrick’s Day activity pages on 8.5×11 copy paper. Or you can print on cardstock if you intend to use markers or watercolors. I love my Staedler watercolor pencils and markers from Muji.

Download this free printable I Spy Spring preschool activity page for your little preschooler to learn how to count and write numbers.
This free I Spy Spring preschool activity page will get your kids counting and writing numbers in a fun way with these colorful flowers and butterflies.
This Spring theme I Spy game is also perfect for teaching colors since it is full of colors. You can also discuss the roles of butterflies in nature, how flowers grow, how do they get their colors, etc. This one simple I Spy Spring activity page can be used to teach so much more than counting and writing numbers.
Download and print out the I SPY Spring activity page. Ask your child how many flowers and butterflies can find. Use pencil or markers to circle the animals, leaves, or mushrooms. Write the number in the box with the question mark.
If you want to reuse this activity page multiple times, I recommend laminating it or putting into a sheet protector. I, personally, put them into these sheet protectors. I do have a laminating machine, but I recently realized that you can’t recycle the paper if you laminate it. With the sheet protector, once you’re done using the activity page, you can simply take it out of the sheet protector and put them in the recycle bin.
I recommend these counting and spring books to read to your preschooler before playing this I Spy Spring game.
