just as grandma's cookie jar should always be full of good things, this blog will be full of good ideas, information, activities and reviews of things to help grandma . . . and grandpa, mom and dad too . . . pass on a heritage of faith to the children in their lives!
Mother's Day is just a few weeks away so I thought I'd share another gift idea which you could help your grandchildren make for their mom. I was browsing on Pinterest and found an idea for a heart craft your grandchildren could have a lot of fun making for their mom! It is also a craft which you could help your grandchildren with depending on the level of help they need - older grandchildren would need little help and younger grandchildren would need more, but it is a craft which many children could make!All you need is a piece of wood, some nails, paint and then some lengths of string, yarn, beads, whatever you want to use to string around the nails!
Select a piece of wood, have your grandchildren sand the edges and then paint.
When the paint dries, hammer the nails in the shape of a heart and allow your grandchildren to wind the string, yarn, beads - whatever you have to make their "Heart".
Use old magazines to cut letters to spell a message and glue in place . . . you might be able to add a photo of the child and mom in the middle of the heart - I think a photo would add a really special touch to this gift!
This is all there is to it . . . fun to make and a great gift to give . . . perfect for Mother's Day!
