Here are two ideas for Grandparents Day gifts!

(Click on images for enlarged view)

Greeting Card:

I tend to like projects that are simple and something the children can do entirely on their own, rather than micromanage the children’s artwork.

I don’t tell the children exactly where each dot of glue and each pre-cut piece should be placed.

For grandparents day, I printed this card on cardstock paper, and folded them in half.

Each child made two cards, one for each set of grandparents.

I gave them crayons, markers, glue, sequins, and butterfly paper punches. I let them choose what they wanted to do with the card & what materials they used.

The end result showed each child’s individuality.

Recipe Book:

Another gift for grandparents is the “Grand Recipes” book.

Each parent was asked to send in their child’s grandparents’ favorite recipes.

The recipes were typed up with the contributor’s name and grandchild’s name at the bottom.

I also had children draw a picture of their grandparents and tell me something they like about their grandparents and their dictation was written on the same sheet.

Every child’s picture was included in the back of the recipe book.

A print shop printed and bound these for us at no cost.
