Toddlers have many talents, but when it comes to shopping for Mother's Day gifts, they're going to need a little help from someone older and wiser. And in case you need a little help in that department, too, here's a curated list of the best Mother's Day gifts from toddlers to help get you started.

You'll find options for every kind of mom here, including personalized Mother's Day jewelry, home décor, and keepsake items that she'll treasure forever. If your toddler wants nothing more than to be like mama, there are also plenty of mommy and me items like clothes, pajamas, and accessories to choose from. Some of these Mother's Day gifts from kids even double as fun Mother's Day crafts that'll entertain the kiddos and result in a meaningful gift for Mom.

Pick a practical present that busy mommas will use on the daily or a sentimental one that will make her heart melt. Either way, she'll love that it comes from her favorite tiny hands! If you saved your shopping until the final hour (no one is judging!), there are also plenty of last-minute Mother's Day gifts that are still super thoughtful. Once you choose the perfect gift for the mom in your life, you can have her little one proudly present it to her on that special Sunday in May.

Help your little one celebrate mom with more ideas:
