Toy and play expert Charlene DeLoach joined WBZ on CBS Boston to talk about a playful Mother’s Day idea: giving toy flowers as an alternative to traditional flowers.

The TV segment focused on flower-themed toys that kids can make, build, arrange, or display. Instead of a bouquet that lasts a few days, these toys create a hands-on moment between kids and families, and in many cases, something that can be kept, gifted, or enjoyed again.

The core takeaway: toy flowers can still feel thoughtful for Mother’s Day, but they also give kids a role in creating the gift.

What Charlene Shared on WBZ TV CBS Boston

For this CBS Boston TV segment, she shared how toy flowers can turn a familiar Mother’s Day gesture into something more interactive.

Traditional flowers are lovely, but for families with young kids, a toy or craft-based flower gift can add another layer: kids get to participate. They can press, shape, fold, build, or arrange their own version of a bouquet.

That makes these toys especially useful for parents looking for gifts that feel sweet without being one-and-done. Some options are simple and sensory, while others involve crafting, construction, or display.
