There is no harm in helping children prepare banners to highlight the virtues of the mother on the day of the celebration of "Mother's Day," for every action that closes a door to evil is desirable in Islamic law. It is important to educate children that kindness to the mother and honoring her is required at all times, not just on a specific day of the year.
