Coloring Pages
If your little ones are young, or if you’re running low on crafting supplies (we’ve all been there!), don’t worry—keeping it simple can still be super sweet. Simply print out the coloring pages and let your kids’ creativity shine with their favorite crayons or markers. And if you need a printer, your local library is a great place to check—they often have printing services available.
Handprint Art
Looking to create a memorable keepsake? All you need is finger paint or an ink pad! After your child finishes coloring the page, let them dip their hand in the paint, wipe off any excess paint, and then gently press it onto the paper. This adds a personal touch that grandparents will cherish. Cardstock is great for a sturdier piece, but regular printer paper works just fine.
Arts & Crafts
Do you have an arts & crafts station at home? This one’s for you! Grab your glue stick, gather those art supplies, and let the creativity flow. Whether you’re adding glitter, sequins, or colorful pipe cleaners, this is your chance to make the artwork truly one-of-a-kind and extra special! You can use construction paper, cut down to size for your printer, to make the pictures more colorful.
No matter which Grandparents Day crafts you choose, the most important thing is the love and thoughtfulness behind them. Grandparents will treasure anything made by little hands, whether it’s a simple coloring page or a more elaborate craft. So, gather your supplies, let your creativity flow, and have fun making something special for Grandparents Day.
