You take them out somewhere nice, or do something fun with them that’s a little different from their usual routine. We’ve put together a selection of ideas to do with mum this Mother’s Day in Sydney.

BYO Art Class At A Paint And Sip Studio

Chocolate Making Class
If yours (or your mum’s) tooth is more sweet than savoury, try a class at The Sydney Chocolate School. Choose what sort of chocolate you want to make, then you’ll be able to take it home with you! Or, you could just eat it there and then. It’s ok, we won’t tell anyone 😉
