Handprint Poem

Print out this cute Grandparents Day poem from Peppermints and Cherries. There's with a larger font and one with a smaller font, so you have plenty of room for the handprint, no matter how big or small it is. After you print out the poem and add the grandchild's handprint for a fun Grandparents Day craft project. You can use toxic-free paint for the handprint in whatever color you like best. These work best when printed out on white cardstock, printer paper just isn't quite sturdy enough for the painted handprint.

Hand Print Flower Pot

Penny Pinchin' Mom has a Grandparent's Day craft project that's meant to be a gift, but I think it would be so much more special to do as an activity between a grandparent and grandchild. All you need is a terracotta pot, some paint, and a few supplies for this fun but simple craft project. Any other decorations that would be fun to put on the pot should be included. After the pots have been decorated and dried, grandma or grandpa can show the little one how to plant a small plant or seeds. Either the grandparent or the grandchild can keep the plant. It might be a cute idea to trade it back and forth to take care of it.
