Did you know that September 11th is National Grandparents Day? I remember celebrating it each year with my Grandparents when I was little. From 1st – 3rd grade, my school celebrated Grandparents Day by having our Grandparents come to school with us so we could share our projects hanging on the wall, and so they could meet our teacher and see what we have been learning. We would also give them a special Grandparents Day Craft that we made just for them! After our fun morning at school my Grandparents and I would pick up my mom and go out for a special lunch to celebrate more.
When my son came home from school on Thursday with a cute little craft he made just for his Grandparents, I was reminded of this very special day and wanted to create a craft of our own. Here is a quick and easy Grandparents Day craft that you can make with your little one to help them celebrate their Grandparents!
Grandparents Day Craft
Easy Grandparents Day Craft for Kids:
Supplies:
Scrapbook paper
white paper
paint
brush
printer with ink
printer paper
scissors
glue stick
Grandparents poem printable
Steps:
- Paint one of your childs hand with paint and press their hand carefully on paper. Allow to dry.
- Print out the Grandparents poem printable. I printed mine at 60% to fit the scrapbook paper later. Resize yours as needed.
- Cut out the shape of the printable.
- Once the handprint is dry, cut around the hand. I left a white edge around the handprint.
- Glue down the poem centered at the top of the scrapbook paper. The, glue down the handprint centered underneath.
- Give to the lucky Grandparents!
B cannot wait for his Grandparents to get this special gift in the mail!
I have to round up the kiddos to do this, such a sweet idea, thank you!
We’ve done something similar to this. Love the idea
I love the poem!! So sweet!
Oooh so cute and sweet!
We;ll be doing this today@
Awwwww. There isn’t a grandparent alive who wouldn’t love this!
That is a totally cute craft! 🙂
Oh I love this! I totally dropped the ball for Grandparent’s Day.
Great idea! My MIL would go nuts for one of these.
This is such a simple idea for kids to do!
This is such a cute and sweet craft for the little one’s. I really love that poem too.
That is so sweet 🙂 Handprint and fingerprint crafts are the best! My son makes me art sometimes with his little hands and fingers (like a turkey build around his hand print) and it’s soo cute!
This is a really cute craft! I had no idea that it was grandparents day, I should have my boys call their grandparents. 🙂
What a cute craft!
A gift any grandparent would treasure & he sure seemed to enjoy himself.
So sweet!
What a cute idea, thanks! &I love that your school did a whole thing for Grandparent’s Day- I didn’t even know the holiday existed until a couple of years ago!
Oh how cute, I think this would be great on a tile too!
This is an adorable idea! My sister and I created a huge picture collage for our parents.
Such a cute and easy craft Idea. Love it!
This is adorable. My mom (grandma) would love it.
What a wonderful gift!
What great ideas! And if you’re like me and missed Grandparent’s Day, I’m sure that the grandparents would appreciate anything homemade any day of the year from their grandkids. 🙂
I feel like these are the best kind of presents a child could ever give!
That is such a cute craft. I can’t believe we missed Grandparents day…
That is cute. I still have a hand print that my son made about 8 years ago. Sweet.
I have a 4 year old classroom and I love this idea! How would I do it for families who have 2 sets of grandparents?
Maybe have them make 2! Glad you like this idea!!
Looks like a very thoughtful gift for grandparents from the kids … will have to try this!
