10 Cool Things #2 - Grandparent's Day Edition

(a day late! lol)

10 Cool Things - The Grandparent's Day Edition, with 10 cool things you can make for Grandparent's Day! Check these out!

This idea uses painted popsicle sticks, photos of your youngsters, and buttons, which all together create cute little flowers to brighten up the day for anyone's favorite Nana or Papa!

Trace and cut out the shapes of your child's hands and their grandparents. Then overlay them like this to make a nice wall hanging for Grandparent's Day.

Get handprints of all the grandkids, and add this little poem that will be sure to touch the hearts of their grandparents.

Have your kids create these HUGE award ribbons for their most favorite grandparents!

Have your child make a family tree using drawings instead of just names of themselves, you, and their grandparents. They'll be sure to love it!

For this idea, I'd use either construction paper, or even better - crafting foam. Draw out the shapes and cut them out (or have your kids do it), and add their photos. The more grandkids there are, the more rainbow of colors you can add!

Make a cute little album of mini pictures like this, that'll fit perfectly in the pocket of grandma or grandpa.

Take a photo of your kids and their grandparent (or just your kids?) and glue it to some popsicle sticks. After it dries, cut between the sticks to make this neat puzzle that they will be sure to enjoy!

Got an old pocket watch laying around? If it doesn't work, you can always remove the clock and replace it with connected photos like these that any grandparent would be proud to show off.

Instead of giving photos for Grandparent's Day, how about framing silhouettes of your children as a gift?
