Mother’s Day Coloring Pages for Kindergarten
Every year, when May rolls around, I start thinking about simple ways my kids can show appreciation for their mom (that’s me! lol) and the other amazing women in their lives. This year, I put together a sweet set of Mother’s Day Coloring Pages for Kindergarten that are just the right mix of meaningful and manageable for young kids.
If you’re gathering seasonal learning ideas, make sure to check out my growing list of Spring Printables for Kids. These are especially handy if you prefer to keep things fun and themed while still achieving educational goals.
I will offer a glimpse into the printable set and show you how to transform a simple coloring session into something truly memorable. Whether you’re using it with your homeschool lessons or using them as a gift, this is one you’ll want to have on hand.

Surprising Facts About Mother’s Day
Even though it’s a well-known celebration, Mother’s Day has some interesting background that many people don’t hear about:
- The original Mother’s Day in the U.S. was inspired by a woman named Anna Jarvis who wanted to honor her mother’s dedication to community care.
- In some countries, like Ethiopia, Mother’s Day is celebrated with a multi-day festival full of singing and traditional meals.
- It wasn’t always commercial—early Mother’s Day celebrations were more about gatherings and handwritten notes than cards and flowers.

How to make this Mother’s Day activity engaging?
Coloring is naturally calming and easy for kindergartners, but it becomes even more enjoyable when you add a few additional elements to the mix. Here are some ways we’ve enjoyed bringing these pages to life at home:
- Add a fun craft from my Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids collection to pair with the coloring pages.
- Print out the Mother’s Day Printable Bookmarks and let kids color and laminate them as a practical gift.
- Include a storytelling prompt where kids share their favorite memory with their mom while they color.

Easy Mother’s Day Coloring Printables Supplies
- Printer (I have this one)
- Paper
- Pencil
- Crayons/colored pencils
- Optional: safety scissors and glue for kids who want to cut out elements
- Optional: cardstock if you’re going to make it sturdier for gifting
I have an HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
