Grandparents Day is Sept. 13, and what better way to help celebrate your little one’s grandparents than some homemade artwork?
Supplies:
- White paper
- Red paint
- Green paint
- Paintbrush
- Paint dish
- Black marker
- Optional: an extra set of hands
Directions:
- Paint one kid hand with red paint and place onto the white paper. Clean paint off the hand immediately!
- With a clean paintbrush, paint stem of the flower green.
- With the marker add, “My grandparents help me grow!”
- Once the paint has dried, have your kiddo sign his name or add it on for him.
Optional add-ons:
- For younger kids, consider having them sit in their highchair or in the bathtub without water for easier cleanup!
- Consider using an additional set of hands to help hold your child’s arm while painting her hand.
- To go along with this card, consider adding some plant seeds, a plant or a flowerpot. If you have the time, encourage your little ones to paint the flowerpot as well!
