You may be tempted to think your toddler is too young and low on cash to gift their Mom with a special Mother's Day gift, but that couldn't be less true (except the cash part—you'll be funding this, Dad)! The toddler age is such a fun one when it comes to teaching little ones about special holidays to celebrate others, especially when the person the holiday is centered around just so happens to be their favorite. And, let's be real, what Mom wouldn't cry when she opened a gift from her sweet kiddo?

You'll definitely have to make some consolations when comes to shopping for a Mother's Day gift from a toddler, but we're here to help you find a gift that she'll both love and cherish for years to come. Whether it's a handmade work of art from her baby, a special breakfast in bed, or a piece of jewelry that you and your little one pick out just for her, she's sure to get the water works going when she opens any of the presents on this list.

And just a reminder: just because your kiddo gave Mom a gift for Mother's Day doesn't mean you get to skip out. Don't forget to get her something from yourself, too, whether that's a small happy or a weekend retreat to rekindle your connection.
