Mark your calendars.
Bust out the crafting materials.
Grandparent's Day is September 12th.
And nothing says, "I love you," to a grandparent quite like a handmade gift!
Since I also have to ship whatever we make, this little project should've been started yesterday!
My plan is to make Family Trees - one for Grammy and Grampy and another for Mimi.
I've scoured the world wide web and brought you my favorites! Hope they provide some inspiration for a Grandparent's Day gift that is meaningful, educational, and really special :)
1. Paper Scrap Family Tree
2. Family Tree with Fiskar Scissors
3. Birdie Family Tree
4. Corrugated Cardboard Stand-Alone Family Tree
If you're looking for something with a little more kid involvement, something more hands-on, give these ideas a try:
1. Handprint Family Tree
2. Family Photo Tree

I'll leave you with a sweet grandparent quote:
"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children." ~ Alex Haley
