# Mother's Day Crafting Classes This Art Class Gives Kids a Fun Way to Celebrate Mother's Day By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-05-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-crafting References: [redtri](http://redtri.com/new-york/celebrate-you-new-york-city-mothers-day-events/) & [cmany.org](http://cmany.org/events/) On Saturday, May 7th, New York's Children's Museum of the Arts (CMA) will host a Mother's Day crafting event for children and their parents. The event is called 'Portraits of Our Mothers' and it takes place in the CMA's Fine Arts Studio. The event is inspired by 11 year-old Daila Melhem, whose portrait of her mother is featured in the museum's permanent collection. Drawing on Melhem's work, young artists can create their own portrait of a special woman in their life. Children can then move on to the Clay Bar, where they can bake a special pastry for mom. To complete the gift, children can put together colorful dot marker Mother's Day cards. The Mother's Day crafting even gives children the opportunity to unleash their creativity by creating thoughtful handmade gifts for their special women in their lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Crafting:** Exploring the trend of artistic crafting as a way for children to express creativity and create thoughtful handmade gifts for special occasions. - **Parent-child Bonding:** The trend of parent-child bonding through collaborative crafting experiences, providing opportunities for fun and meaningful interactions. - **Personalized Gifts:** The growing trend of personalized gifts, where children can create unique and customized presents for their loved ones. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Education:** Art education industry can adapt by offering more specialized crafting classes for children and parents to encourage creativity and bonding opportunities. - **Event Planning:** Event planning industry can tap into the trend by organizing crafting events and workshops that cater to parent-child bonding and creative gift-making experiences. - **Children's Toys and Crafts:** The children's toys and crafts industry can capitalize on personalized gift trends by offering customizable craft kits and materials for children to create unique presents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Mother's Day Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indulgent-mothers-day-experiences.md) - [Mom-Celebrating Bakery Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutter-squidge-mothers-day.md) - [Mom-Friendly Hotel Programming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-x-toronto-1.md) - [Mother’s Day Spa Giveaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-chocolate-1.md) - [Memorable Mother's Day Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunch-and-high-tea.md) - [Celebratory Mother’s Day Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-collections.md) - [Upscale Mother's Day Brunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alder-toronto.md) - [Mom-Inspired Candle Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-line.md) - [Luxury Mother's Day Offers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-st-regis-toronto-mothers-day-celebrations.md)
