Fun Crafts that make great memories/gifts!
Love all these Handprint/Thumbprint craft ideas from Meet the Dubiens - these would even be good boredom busters for rainy days!
Family Photo Strip - if you don't have craft foam you can use extra poster board or card stock...any heavy paper will work for the frame
Collection of great Mom Day homemade gift ideas
Love Note Tote - make these heart totes from paper plates to carry a special card or picture from the kids
Handprint Flower Tote Bag - for this one you probably need a run to the craft store but it is oh, so cute! Grandma will love it. If you have more than one child, you can have each child add a handprint petal. Label each flower with a permanet fabric pen with childs name and age! I want one too!
Handprint Flower on Canvas - you probably need to pick up supplies for this one too but once you have everything, it's an easy, quick craft. You'll want to make two...one for you too!
P is for Poppa/G is for Grandma - a wooden letter and a bag of buttons and some glue...
Love Note Flip Book - this one is posted as a Mother's Day but works for Grandparents just the same. Have kids that can't write yet draw pictures.
Older kids can fill in this Diamond Poem.
And remember there is the ol' macaroni necklace!
