Dad & Kids Create a Mother's Day Surprise

A Secret Project for Dad and the Kids

Mother's Day is the perfect occasion to show Mom just how much she means to the family. But flowers and sweets can feel a bit routine — why not team up with the kids to create something truly unforgettable?

Three Steps to the Perfect Surprise

Step 1: Draw Mom's Portrait

Ask your kids to draw a picture of Mom. Keep it secret — that's half the fun! Dad can join in too.

  • Encourage a big, happy smile
  • Let their imagination run wild
  • Crayons, markers, colored pencils — anything goes

Step 2: Turn It Into a Figurine with figmee

Upload the drawing to figmee and let AI transform it into a 3D figurine.

  1. Snap a photo or upload the artwork
  2. AI analyzes the drawing and generates a figurine
  3. Review the result and place your order

Step 3: Plan the Big Reveal

  • Place it on the breakfast table before Mom wakes up
  • Pair it with a heartfelt letter
  • Record a video message to go with it

Time-Saving Tips for Busy Dads

No time? No problem. figmee takes as little as 10 minutes from upload to finished figurine.
