Mother's Day Share

Are you doing any crafts with LO for grandmothers and such? If so would you like to share your ideas?

So far all I've come up with is letting DS finger paint pictures that I will write with a white crayon 'I (heart) mom-mom' then putting that in a frame with a picture of our little artist in action.

  • Every year since my DS was born, I've done a photo book for my mom of pics.  Most of them are just him, but then I add any pics of the two of them together and things like that.  It's now an annual thing, so pics of my DD have been added.  We do one for my MIL too.  It's a great excuse to at least annually sit down and do something with the thousands of pictures we take every year.  We do it on Shutterfly, and there is always some promo code offering like 40-45% off.

  • I got a double picture frame from Michael's and on one side there will be a picture of DD and on the other her hand print.  I need to make them tonight, so thanks for posting this!

  • For DH's grandma, I took a plain clay pot and I dipped Jackson's thumb into paint and made flower pedals out of that. Then I held his hand as he held the paint brush and helped him dip it into the paint and then we made the stems and leaves and we also added polka dots on top. He absolutely loved dipping his fingers in the paint. Then when it dried, I sprayed it with a sealant and then planted a daisy in it. For everyone else, I'm not sure yet!

  • Same as above, we made a photo book last year for mother's day for the grandma's on shutterfly.  Both of them requested this to be a tradition if at all possible, so we put them together a couple of weeks ago when they had their 40% off sale.  We also made footprint butterflies on some clay pots.
