13 Fun & Refreshing Bonding Activities To Do With Mum This Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day is a special day to show your queen some extra love and appreciation. Instead of getting a bouquet of flowers that will wilt in a few days or a necklace she may not like, what we find more precious and meaningful is setting aside some hours to spend some quality time together.

Surprise mum on this special day with the gift of a fun experience that you can do together! We've compiled a list of fun things to do with your mum this Mother's Day weekend - we've even included activities you can do at home for those who prefer to stay in. Let us know which activity's your favourite!

When was the last time you did something new together? If your mum is good with her hands and loves arts and crafts, a pottery class might just bring a smile to her face. Pottery-making is a therapeutic, relaxing, and stress-relieving activity - nothing beats the calming vibe of creating a one-of-a-kind art piece with your own bare hands.

Check out our list of pottery studios around Klang Valley and choose one located close to you - our favourite is definitely 22CraftStudio located in Kajang! This ceramic studio offers a few different pottery workshops for curious crafters to try, such as wheel throwing, hand building, and pottery painting.

Here's another fun, artsy activity to do with mum! Unleash your inner Picasso by heading to an art studio for a Sip and Paint experience together. Be guided by friendly instructors throughout your session - even if you have no painting skills, we promise you're going to have a lot of fun.

Hold a paintbrush in a hand and help yourself to a complimentary glass of wine, free-flow coffee, and a snack at Art and Bonding located in Desa Sri Hartamas. Bump your experience up a notch with their Glow in the Dark Sip and Paint sessions. You get everything they offer with their regular sip and paint experience with one additional item: a UV torchlight!

Surprise your mum with some fresh air and a pretty picnic spread this Mother's Day! If you're hesitant about brushing shoulders with others at a crowded restaurant, pack a picnic spread and your mum's favourite snacks, and head to a scenic park in Klang Valley for a sunny picnic together. Level-up your picnic game with a pretty picnic set that's perfect for photos and great for special occasions like these!

Treat your queen to a break she deserves - while travelling and wild adventures remain out of the question, you can still help her leave her worries behind by planning a spontaneous staycation in the city. Book a night in a hotel with a nice bathtub and city views, and watch the sun go down with a wine glass in hand - how sweet does that sound?

If you have a mum that loves to bake, she'll love this activity! Have a fun time together by joining a baking class conducted by Good Times DIY & Lifestyle Cafe, with workshops available at MyTown Shopping Centre and Paradigm Mall.

Learn to bake your favourite dessert together - whether it's a strawberry victoria sponge cake, a Japanese cheesecake, or some classic French cheese tarts. A 2-hours guided workshop starts from RM130, and comes inclusive of all ingredients, baking tools, and equipment needed. This activity is great fun for people of all ages, and fun even for children!

Let your mum live the tai tai life with a leisurely afternoon tea experience. This Mother's Day, pamper her to a memorable afternoon with good conversations over delicate sandwiches, scones, macaroons, and fine teas.

There are many spots around Klang Valley and Penang that offer lovely afternoon tea with great views of the city and amazing atmosphere (with discounted vouchers bookable on Klook) - here are some of our favourites:

Just wanna relax away from crowded spaces? Allow mummy to unwind and destress by treating her to a pampering massage or spa - this one's a treat that's hard to resist. Urban Bliss Wellness in Putrajaya is one of our favourite spots to relax and rejuvenate, you can book a body massage, accupressure massage, relief treatment, or even body scrub package here for a relaxing experience without burning a hole in your wallet - vouchers are bookable easily on Klook.

Urban Bliss Wellness also has a Mother's Day package that includes a facial, foot massage, aromatherapy massage, as well as a luxurious shampoo and blow dry for maximum relaxation!

This one's a no-brainer, but it's easy and pretty much satisfaction-guaranteed! To make things a bit more memorable, how about trying out a unique dining experience such as an omakase experience or Dining In The Dark? You can also treat her to a buffet dinner at the highest restaurant in town, with magnificent 360-degree views of the entire city skyline.

For the mothers who have a thirst for adventure and love exploration, how about surprising her with a road trip? If you think you're stuck in the city with the CMCO interstate travel restrictions, think again. There's a lot more to do in KL and Selangor than you think - in fact, destinations such as Kuala Kubu Bharu, Tanjung Sepat, Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan, and Pulau Ketam are all places within Selangor that you can escape to without breaking the rules! Treating your mum to a change of scenery isn't out of the question this Mother's Day.

Make your memories last forever by capturing them on film. Many mums love pointing their cameras at their children and taking photos of their family, but they often stay out of the limelight and remain mostly at the back of the camera.

This Mother's Day, surprise her with a lifestyle photoshoot and get your family photos taken by a professional photographer! If you or your family are a little camera-shy, not to worry. You can opt to capture memories at this self-photo studio in Mont Kiara.

For the mums who love a good sweat, nothing beats getting some fresh air and exercise. Instead of sleeping in this Mother's Day, get out of bed early and bring your mum for a hike at one of these hiking spots around Klang Valley!

Watch the sunrise together at the peak, and continue your day with a nice breakfast of kaya toast and coffee at her favourite kopitiam - you really don't have to splurge to bring a smile to your mum's face.

Did you know that there are a handful of fishing spots scattered in Klang Valley that you can head to for some fresh air and to practice some patience? Our favourite is definitely the tranquil Hulu Langat Fishing Resort, located just a 45-minute drive from KL. If you're looking for a serene getaway this Mother's Day, this spot may just work magic for you.

Cast your line and learn the art of fishing from private, comfortable platforms - fishing rods, baits, and all the equipment you need are available for rental if you don't have your own. The serene resort consists of a large fishing pond fringed by cosy accommodation, so you can even spend a night here to maximize your experience.

Get some popcorn, download your mum's favourite movies or series, and level up the cosiness of your living room with fluffy blankets and pillows - that's all you need to plan a movie night at home! This one's a great idea for those who prefer staying in during these times.

Alternatively, you can bring your mum out to catch a new movie on the big screens! Make sure you book your discounted TGV movie vouchers on Klook to save a few bucks!
