Good day! We continue preparations for a wonderful holiday of warmth and love. And, of course, decoration of offices and classrooms begins in all educational organizations. We used to draw wall newspapers and posters. So I decided to remember my youth and show you a few ideas for posters with detailed master classes on their implementation. Most often we drew them. In our time, there were no printers and there was nowhere to print a picture. Therefore, more often they were copied or invented something themselves.
So that you don’t rack your brains over what to depict and write on the poster, I have prepared this article for you. Many of the ideas are my own, but some were taken from the Internet for your inspiration.
More often, posters are painted in large sizes. To do this, use sheets of whatman paper or pieces of thick wallpaper. Or they make up a composition of four sheets of A4 format. I think that the most convenient option is to use the back side of the wallpaper. Especially if they are used not only for drawing, but also as a basis for applications.
And you can depict whatever your heart desires. The main thing is that these pictures and inscriptions express all the warmth and tenderness that we feel for our dear parents.
Let me also remind you that several thematic articles were published earlier on Mother’s Day. We made postcards in them. The children and I created a drawing of their mother. They also did simple but beautiful crafts. Look, there are a lot of ideas there.
DIY Mother's Day poster with pencil for school
Let's take a pencil and start sketching. After all, any masterpiece begins with a sketch. And the pencil is very convenient to use, it is easy to erase and you can use it to make thin, almost imperceptible lines.
Let's look at two simple options on how to quickly draw a small poster.
Master class No. 1. Let's start with an image of a brown bear and a bear cub. A cute couple that fits our theme very well.
We will need:
- sheet of paper (A3 or A4),
- pencil,
- eraser,
- colored pencils or paints.
Step 1. We will start by creating a composition. Let's try to imagine where we will place each of the elements. For example, there will be a congratulatory inscription in the center.
Below it we will draw a hugging bear couple. We begin to draw a line from the bottom of the sheet, rounding it at the ears and head. Gradually we draw silhouettes. Concave lines indicate eyes and mouths.
And in the empty spaces we will write what we feel most for mothers: I love you. If desired, you can add hearts or flowers with leaves.
The result is a picture like this.
Step 2. Next, erase unnecessary lines and fill in empty spaces.
You can leave everything as it is. But I want to make the drawing brighter and more festive. Therefore, I suggest painting over the sketch with pencils or paints. To make the letters easier to read, it is better to outline them with markers or pens.
Master class No. 2. Next, I offer a quick option for creating a poster. Let's take two silhouettes of palms as a basis. The big one belongs to the mother, the small one to the child.
We will also add congratulatory phrases and phrases.
We will need:
- sheet of paper of any size,
- simple pencil,
- eraser,
- two silhouettes of palms,
- wax crayons or colored pencils.
Step 1. I suggest starting from the upper right corner. In it we will denote the theme of the holiday in large letters. Try to keep the letters approximately the same size, this will make it neater. You can do it by hand or using a stencil. This is optional. If you are proficient in calligraphy, then use it.
We will apply and outline an adult palm diagonally in the lower left corner. We will put it in and also mark the nursery.
Step 2. Add some decor. I wanted to focus on congratulations. Therefore, we draw circles of different sizes around it. The more there are, the denser the improvised frame will be.
Step 3. Next you need to write warm and pleasant words and wishes. For example: “Thank you for your warmth and care. You are my dearest person!”
On the other hand, we’ll add “It’s always warm next to you,” “We love and appreciate you immensely!” and “Our Ray of Light.”
We wipe down places that seem sloppy or unnecessary.
Step 4. Now take crayons or colored pencils and trace the lines. To make the drawing brighter, we use red, yellow and orange colors. A red or burgundy inscription always adds solemnity.
We will paint the mother's hand orange, and the child's hand yellow.
Wax crayons can cause paint to run off. Therefore, it is better to circle phrases with a ballpoint pen.
For inspiration, I picked out a few ideas that you can draw with a pencil. For example, you can place a self-drawn image of your mother in the center of any poster.
Add wishes from the bottom of your heart, like here.
If you are pressed for time, then create a bright center of the composition. For example, in this photo, a heart was placed in the most prominent place.
You may find a similar picture useful for sketching.
This poster featured a bear-shaped accent. Colors were added with colored pencils. Nice and simple.
Here's an idea for drawing such a bear.
Printable option. Can be placed in the very center of the wall newspaper.
I thought that almost no one depicts a stroller with a baby on the wall newspaper. But these elements directly relate to our topic. Here's a picture for inspiration.
Invite several children to work on the composition at once. The more elements they draw, the more interesting the result will be. And also invite them to write a list of those things that they associate with the topic. Then there will be more choice for images.
templates with photos and videos
A mother is the dearest person on the entire planet, she is always ready to do anything for her child, she will always support him and help him. There is even a holiday in November dedicated to all mothers. People of any age on this day want to please their mothers, show how much they are loved and appreciated, and also simply thank them. Someone organizes a small celebration with songs, poems and dances; someone simply helps with housework or shows attention in the form of going to the theater, and so on. And mothers are always pleased when their children give them something they made themselves, and not just bought in a store. In this article we will look at how to make a Mother's Day poster. It will be possible to describe all planned events or just a beautiful congratulation. You can add photos or some memorable details about touching or funny moments in life.
Gift value
Purpose of Mother's Day poster:
- This will be a huge card with warm and pleasant words for mom;
- A good poster will be an excellent decoration for the room and will create a festive mood and comfort;
- If there is a holiday with competitions and various entertainment, then the poster can be used as part of the task, schedule, and so on;
- And most importantly, such a poster will itself be an excellent gift, since the best gift for a mother is a gift made with her own hands.
How to easily and beautifully draw a Mother's Day poster with paints and gouache
When you create on a whole sheet of whatman paper, you need to cover a large area of it with drawings. And so that the work does not take too long and turns out evenly bright, use paints or gouache for creativity.
First, let's look at the options that came to my mind. And then photographs of finished children's works.
Master class No. 1. Because it’s mostly children who work for mothers. I suggest using the finger technique. I didn’t use a pencil for this idea, I just drew with paints.
Step 1. To do this, apply gouache to the pad of your finger and make prints along the entire edge of the sheet. You can form them into a flower, or a heart. For greater brightness we use two colors: red and yellow
Step 2. Next we connect our hearts with a wavy green line. We put dots along its length and add leaves in some places. Add a rowan leaf in the corners and empty spaces.
We will cover the center with chaotic brush masks with yellow paint. We leave the workpiece to dry and then write down wishes on it.
Step 3. In the middle we write the theme of the holiday. From the inscription we visually draw lines along which we will place adjectives and other words pleasant for mother. Let's imagine that the rays seem to come from the center.
To complete the picture, I suggest filling the empty spaces with dots of blue or cyan paint. I just put it on the brush and quickly made imprints on the sheet.
Master class No. 2. Here I wanted to make the main inscription more accentuated. Therefore, I propose to frame it.
Step 1. Find the center of the sheet and select its upper part. There we mark a square 6*7 cm. We mark 1 cm along the edges and add a second square. Next, use a ruler to mark identical horizontal lines inside the frame.
Step 2. Write the theme of the holiday. Add sprigs of greenery in the corners. Here's a closer photo of what happened.
Step 3. Add flowers in the corners located diagonally to each other. The simplest ones without any frills.
The sheet will go in the center. And in the empty spaces we will add clouds with confessions for our parents. You can write quotes in them: “Mom is a word that everyone understands,” “Mom is a word, 4 letters, eternal meaning,” “Mom is the most expensive luxury in the world. So please, appreciate her” and “The kind of person who will replace everyone. But no one will replace her,” etc.
Step 4. Paint over the sketch with watercolors. We try to ensure that the paint layer is not complete, otherwise the written phrases will not be visible.
Then let the drawing dry. Now let’s circle all the letters with a felt-tip pen or pen.
Options that children created for Mother's Day. Idea with white bears.
A woman holds a child in her arms.
You can add appliques and voluminous decorations. This will make the poster brighter.
The unusual arrangement of phrases along the edges is vertical.
Homemade daisies added volume to this wall newspaper.
Here they depicted a big heart full of love.
You can print poems for the main composition. In printed form, they will take up less space and there will be more of them.
Let's continue, there are a lot of ideas, we need to consider everything.

Beautiful drawing for mom from kindergarten children
Of course, every year kindergartens put on an exhibition of pictures drawn by children. Sometimes it's funny to look at them. But don't put them aside. After all, you can understand a lot from them.
Children love to draw their mothers. Often, based on their drawings, psychologists can even tell whether the child is doing well. Does he have any injuries? The finished image can explain a lot about whether he is drawing himself next to her. Or it stands far away and to the side.
I just wanted to collect many different images in one place. They are all bright and kind. YOU can use them as the basis for a poster. Or write congratulations against the background of the finished picture.
My daughter gave me this masterpiece. She's doing great. The main thing is that mom has a mouse at her feet! And the sun is shining all around and flowers are growing.

Bouquet of flower children. Each child makes an applique in the shape of a flower. A photograph is pasted inside. This idea can be used not only in kindergarten, but also for school.
Another great idea.
Look how interesting the phrase was played out in different languages. It turned out very unusual.
You can make such a collage of photographs together with your elders, for example with your dad or sister. And decorate mom's room. She will definitely be inspired by your ideas and thank you from the bottom of her heart.

Fire safety
The do-it-yourself information and educational wall newspaper about fire safety stands out. It is issued in order to convey fire safety rules to children of preschool and school age.
Illustrated rules with bright design are remembered better. Children can also be involved in creating such a poster, which will make learning even more effective.
Frequently used elements here are the slogan “In case of fire, call 01”, a red telephone, a fire extinguisher, a fireman in a helmet, an image of fire, etc.
These are just some of the options for using wall newspapers. You can take them as a basis and come up with something of your own, unique, inimitable.
Original Mother's Day poster made from palms
Let's think about how you can arrange your palms on paper so as to get a beautiful poster. Here you can invite everyone to participate: from dad to grandfather. Of course, kids will like this idea the most.
But let's start with the ideas that we repeated at home.
Master class No. 1. I propose to make a print of a child’s palm against the background of an adult’s palm. The main thing is to catch and wash the baby in time.
We will need:
- paper,
- gouache,
- two palms (mother and child),
- pen,
- markers.
Step 1. First we spread the gouache. If it hasn’t dried out and is fresh, then immediately apply paint to your hand. We try to act quickly before the gouache dries.
Place your hand on the paper and press. Then carefully, so as not to smear the print, remove your palm.
Step 2. Leave the workpiece to dry. Then we call the child and repeat the whole procedure with his hand. We take contrasting paint. We used red.
Step 3. After the center of the composition had completely dried, branches with leaves were painted along the edges with watercolors.
And they made accent inscriptions. With a bright raspberry marker they wrote “Mom, I want to say... that you are a miracle!”
And along the edges and in empty places we will add: “You are my ray of light”, “You are my tenderness”, “You are the best thing I have” and other similar phrases.
The result is a similar picture. You can enter sentences from poems or songs.
A variation of palm chicken and fingerprint chicken. A very suitable idea for your theme.
Here we took the bouquet as a basis. Just traced the pens on colored paper and cut them out. The result was a voluminous idea.
On this wall newspaper, photographs in palms were placed along the edges.
Here we took prints as a basis.
Another idea with a bouquet in a vase.
Flowers were made from colorful prints. It turns out very bright and beautiful.
Here's an idea on how to depict the sun and rainbow. And they added photos of children with their mothers.
We also arranged the silhouettes of the pens by color. Another bouquet is ready.
Here the prints were used as the main background. Simple, but looks interesting.
Another idea.
Here are options for how you can place your palms. For example, first take your father’s hand, followed by your mother’s. And make a child’s print on top of them.
Contrasting option. You can draw it.
The baby holds his mother's hand by the finger. Perfectly suits our theme.
Another option. It looks natural and symbolic.
Such a picture can become an independent background for a poster.
I think you liked these options. After all, from the prints and silhouettes of children's hands you can make a huge number of different crafts and drawings. The main thing is to turn on your imagination and try to see something new in old technology.

How to draw a holiday drawing of a mother holding a baby (child) in her arms
There are many pictures of a woman holding a baby in her arms. There are detailed images, and there are silhouettes. In my opinion, the latter are much easier to draw. Therefore, I propose an idea on how to place a similar picture on a Mother’s Day poster.
Master class No. 1. You can take your favorite image as a basis. I copied it from my phone. I didn't try very hard to maintain the proportions. Let there be an individual drawing.
We will need:
- pencil,
- paper,
- eraser,
- colour pencils,
- picture.
Step 1. Start making a sketch at the top of the sheet. It’s more convenient to start drawing with the woman’s profile.
We create a profile of the child every day. It is smaller in size. A baby's head is always larger and rounder than that of an adult.
Step 2. Add an ornament along the edges. We don't do anything complicated. We draw flowers in the form of two circles. Let's add one tulip. Look, simple shapes and lines are used.
Step 3. Use colored pencils or crayons to paint over our blank.
Step 4. All that remains is to add various phrases, quotes or congratulations. Empty spaces can be filled with dots or stars.
For inspiration, I selected several drawings that suit our theme.
Here are women's hands holding a baby.
Silhouette of a mother with a child against the background of a heart.
This picture can be used as a template or stencil.
Another simple idea to copy and repeat.
This template can be cut out and applied to a colored background.
A picture with the English name of the holiday.
A similar picture might be useful. It will worthily occupy the main part of the poster.
The idea of the location of the picture and the inscription.
You can use handprints along the edges, it will be more symbolic.
Don't forget to write warm and tender confessions. Mom always likes it. Especially when we say such phrases at least once a year.
Variety of ideas
If you have time, imagination and artistic skills, you can create a good poster using brushes, paints, colored paper and glue. Think over the main idea that you will implement in the main part of the poster, and then add decorative details (ribbons, flowers, hearts, sparkles, colored paper applications, etc.). Use different fonts when writing: titles, congratulations and poems. The end result will be a beautiful poster that every mother will love and delight.

Today there are many interesting techniques and materials that will help you create a beautiful and unique poster that will show your emotions and family characteristics. In this way, you can create several types of posters.
Highlight the theme of the holiday and the hero of the occasion. You can use capital letters in , and in each letter you can disguise symbols of motherhood or flowers. You can make each letter a different color. It will be very original to use the isothread technique - it will turn out very beautiful, unusual and gentle. At the top write “Happy Mother’s Day!”, “To my beloved Mom!” and so on. And below, write words of congratulations or a sweet poem dedicated to mothers. It is better to choose soft pastel colors for the design of the poster.
If this poster is made for an educational institution, then you can post information about the holiday and its significance in a person’s life, give advice on how to celebrate the holiday and how to congratulate the mother.
Make a poster for your mom. You can use family photos and memorable details in this card. Describe how you love your mother and why she is so dear. Arrange a survey of all family members and write down everyone’s opinion next to the portrait. Create a collage and funny captions. Show your mom's hobbies, what she is proud of and what makes her happy. Write down the reasons why she is dear to all family members, the more the better. If the family has both a mother and a grandmother, then you can divide the poster and dedicate its half to each woman.
Make a craft that will be a great wall decoration. You can use colored paper to make beautiful flowers, collect them in a bouquet and place them in the very center of the poster. Cut out a basket from paper or cardboard and glue it under the bouquet. If you want, you can add delicate paper butterflies around it. Add poems, it will be more interesting if they are disguised, for example, you can cut out rectangles, circles or shapes of any shape, attach them so that they can be opened and closed. Take a button, paperclip, tape or something else and make locks on the doors.

The easiest and fastest option would be to find ready-made postcard templates, print them and decorate them to your taste. Below are some examples:
Or you can make a large poster using the same method. To do this, you will need a template consisting of several sketches.
First, we print out all the details of the future poster on album sheets.
Then we connect all the parts into a single whole using glue or double-sided tape. Then we decorate the resulting poster in any way you like, you can use paints, felt-tip pens or pencils. We paste a photo into the frames on the image or write congratulations for mom. And if you wish, you can decorate the decorated poster with rhinestones, sparkles, flowers and any decorative elements you like. To make the poster stronger, you can glue it to whatman paper.
Below we present video and photo ideas of various posters for Mother’s Day, choose an idea, create it and undoubtedly make any mother happy.
Ideas with candies and sweets for A4 format
You can make a three-dimensional poster with gifts and candies. Now there are many different slogans that can be matched to our topic.
Here are a couple of examples of how to use sweets to create a gift.
You can glue them on with double-sided tape or using a stapler. But before gluing, first lay out all the presents on whatman paper. You can even circle them so you don’t forget the location of the candies.
Add beautiful pictures and images to the theme and you will get a bright and incomparable result. Everyone will like it, not just mothers. By the way, don't forget about grandmothers.
To prevent the poster from curling up under the weight of the gifts, try to place them evenly over the entire surface.
How to decorate a hall with voluminous garlands
The point is this: you need to make three-dimensional figures from paper, which are then strung at some distance from each other on threads, fishing lines or thin ribbons. Such garlands hanging from the ceiling will greatly decorate a music or assembly hall.
Here is my example - pigeons in the clouds: I print out a diagram of a paper dove (by the way, you can print 20 more diagrams of different animals from here). For one garland we need two such birds. Cut out and fold along the folds, looking at the drawing in the right corner.
We will alternate pigeons with paper clouds like these. I don’t give you a diagram - we randomly cut out identical parts from 2 sheets of A4 format, bend them and fasten them in the center with a stapler. In a large figure, I cut out a small detail inside. This will also be a small cloud.
