A Fill-in-the-Blank Questionnaire Makes for a Great Mother’s Day Card Alternative

Ditch the traditional card this Mother’s Day and engage your child in a fun fill-in-the-blank activity instead.
by Deborah Song

One of my most cherished gifts from preschool continues to be a fill-in-the-blank questionnaire I’ve received every mother’s day and that my husband has received every father’s day. The answers are as insightful as they are hilarious and heart-warming. I love that my daughter thinks that I’m 16, for instance, that my height is 10 feet tall, and that the one thing I always tell her is “pat-pat” (she has eczema so we encourage her to pat instead of scratch). Kids don’t always know how to express themselves when given a blank canvas so this fill-in the-blank questionnaire has a much more effective way of getting kids to reveal their perspective and affections for their moms and mother figures in their lives. Here are 30 fill in the blanks to choose from.
