Mother’s Day Sloth Card

Looking for a really sweet way to say Happy Mother’s Day? Our Mother’s Day Sloth Card with Free Printable Template is the perfect way to say hey Mom, we love you! Take it slow and enjoy your day!

I have to say, I quite adore sloths. They are just so cute, with their easygoing nature. If ever there’s a day where mom should be able to take it slow and just hang around with her kids, it’s Mother’s Day. Whether that actually happens or not is another story. But at least mom will know that you love her “slow” much with our Mother’s Day Sloth Card.

To make our Mother’s Day Sloth Card even easier we have Free Templates for both the Mama Sloth and Child Sloth. Simply print, cut the pieces out, and use as a template on the colors of your sloths.

Speaking of, for the mama sloth you will need cardstock in brown as well as a light yellow. The child sloth uses the same light yellow cardstock, but we used red and dark orange colors for our main color. Purple would be a nice child sloth color, too. The rest of the supplies include blue cardstock for the card, a fine tip black sharpie, scissors, glue or glue stick, and a heart paper punch.

Fold a sheet of blue cardstock in half. Begin gluing the mama sloth body at the bottom of the front of the card. Glue the tops of the arms behind the body. Glue the main face towards the top of the sloth.

For the face, glue the inside face shape in the center of the main face. Then, adhere eye pieces at the sides of the inside face shape.

Using a black sharpie, color in an oval nose. Then draw a simple mouth and closed eyes.

Glue the child sloth in place on top of the mama sloth, with the body starting at the bottom of the card. Make the child’s face the same as the mama sloth’s.

Fold the mama sloth’s arms over, holding onto the child. Glue the ends in place. Then, draw 3 lines on the end on both arms.

Punch out a couple heart shapes from red paper and stick in place. Then, open your card and write mom your sweet and sloth-y Mother’s Day message.
