Heads up, Grandparents’ Day is just around the corner! (It’s the first Sunday after Labor Day… but I’m sure you already knew that.
) This year, commemorate the occasion with Grandparents’ Day crafts. They’re fun, frugal, and far more personal than anything you’ll find at the store. Here are some Grandparents’ Day craft projects to inspire you!
Grandparents really are awesome, aren’t they? I guess that’s where the grand comes from. This year, help your kids celebrate Grandparents’ Day with these Grandparents’ Day crafts for toddlers and kids!
My mom and I scoured the Internet to serve up a heaping helping of Grandparents’ Day crafts, printables, and projects. Among these Grandparents’ Day craft ideas, you’ll find something for everyone, whether you’re a DIY diva or crafts challenged! Seriously, whatever your skill level, budget, and availability, I know there’s a “Nana-approved” Grandparents’ Day craft for you in this article.
So, what are we waiting for? The clock is ticking… let’s dive right into these unique Grandparents’ Day arts and crafts projects!
1. Personalized Tea Towels – Some of the best Grandparents’ Day arts and crafts, like this one, include everyday objects. This project transforms a mundane dish towel into a work of art —specifically, your child’s work of art!
2. Personalized Grandparent Mugs – I love Grandparents’ Day craft ideas that can be scaled up or down based on your budget, how crafty you’re feeling, and what else you have going on. This is one of those gifts. Scale these personalized mugs up by adding homemade chocolate spoons and/or this hot cocoa Mason jar. You could also add coffee or tea bags.
3. Homemade photo luminaries – The problem with photos is that they tend to languish in a scrapbook or photo album, only seeing the light of day once or twice a year (at best). However, this Grandparents’ Day craft allows you to commemorate those special memories by turning photos into luminaries.
4. Painted Popsicle Sticks Bouquet – Here’s a great Grandparents’ Day craft for toddlers! Younger kids can help color the popsicle sticks that’ll be used to make this beautiful, undying bouquet.
5. Homemade Photo Coasters – This is one of the Grandparents’ Day craft ideas that can work for just about any holiday or even as an everyday craft project. Seriously, I love the idea of taking photos and turning them into coasters to place around the house.
6. Grandkids Make Life Good Wood Sign – What grandparent doesn’t love to show off his or her grandkids? Make it easy for them with this DIY sign, complete with adorable photos of all the grandkids! Let the kids help pick out which photos to contribute.
7. Bottle Cap Photograph Magnets – This great Grandparents’ Day arts and crafts project is not only fun and frugal but also green. Yep, this project allows you take discarded bottle caps and turn them into adorable photo magnets.
8. Personalized Flowerpot – Grandparents’ Day crafts for toddlers don’t have to be complicated to be impressive. Have your little one help personalize a flower pot and then finish things off by planting a pretty flower or a low-maintenance succulent.
9. Personalized Pillow for Grandpa – Sadly, this probably is not the best grandparents’ day crafts for toddlers. While you’re child can definitely contribute their handprint for this personalized pillow, a lot of the heavy lifting will have to be done by Mom and Dad.
10. Handprint Tree – This is probably one of the most impressive Grandparents’ Day craft ideas on the list. It takes a lot of talent to make a DIY project not look like a DIY project. Even more amazing, the cherry blossoms in this project are made from old clothes!
11. Mail a Hug – Can’t see Grandma and Grandpa in person this year? Give them the next best thing—mail them a hug! This gift is perfect for Grandparents’ Day, but it also works well for any holiday or really, any day.
12. Hand and Footprint Flower – Flowers fade, they wilt and die, but one made using little hands and feet will last forever! This Grandparents’ Day arts and crafts project may be a smidge messy, but it’s pretty quick if time is of the essence.
13. Count the Ways I Love You – Turn this Grandparents’ Day craft idea into a tradition. Each year, dip your child’s hands in paint and attach this saying to make a touching gift. Over time, Grandma and Grandpa will get to watch those little hands grow.
14. Grandpa and Grandma’s Angel – Grandparents’ Day crafts and printables are perfect for those of us who are a bit craft-challenged. If you just aren’t feeling your inner Martha Stewart today, this is an easy and adorable Grandparents’ Day craft option!
15. Super Sweet Poem – If you’re looking for Grandparents’ Day crafts for toddlers that are sure to bring a tear to Grandma’s (and even Grandpa’s) eye, look no further. This sweet poem, complete with hand and foot prints, is sure to do the trick.
16. Salt Dough Hand Prints – I love Grandparents’ Day crafts that make affordable yet thoughtful gifts and help me entertain my child. Trust me, your kids will have a blast making these cute keepsakes.
Rounding out this list of Grandparents’ Day crafts ideas are projects that are perfect for the non-crafty mom (or dad)!
17. Iris Coloring Pages – Looking for a Grandparents’ Day craft that’s sure to brighten their day? Snag these printable coloring pages, let your kids reach for the funnest colors in the crayon box, and then turn these into homemade cards.
18. Paper Flower Bouquet – This post contains three easy printable crafts for toddlers, and the paper flower bouquet is a great way to gift flowers that won’t ever wilt.
19. Love Photo – If you don’t have a crafty bone in your body, no worries. Thanks to Grandparents’ Day crafts printables and other super simple projects, like this one, you can still create a heartfelt and homemade Grandparents’ Day gift!
20. I Love My Grandparents Muffins – Are you more comfortable in the kitchen than the craft room? (Do you have absolutely no desire to even have a craft room?) If so, maybe you need an edible Grandparents’ Day “craft,” like these delicious muffins!
Among these Grandparents’ Day crafts, you’ll find something for just about any situation. Whether Grandma and Grandpa live next door or 2,000 miles away, this list has got you covered! Whether you’re a DIY legend or the type who can’t imagine why anyone would ever own a glue gun, again, these Grandparents’ Day craft ideas can work for you!
