Super easy and cute, now I want to make some to keep! </p> [attach=4677/17/p1dayw.600x450.BFE40AF7-A5D0-48A7-81DC-C7968F8AFD56.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2793199 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 08:57:51 +0000 yin 2793199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a craft kit from Michael's for the kids to make foam ornaments with their pictures inside. It's simple and doesn't require any glue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2793007 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 22:30:00 +0000 JCCovi 2793007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did homemade soap (melt and pour, not from scratch) and are giving it to everyone from Grandparents to Teachers. I'm really happy with how they turned out and the kids tell everyone about how they made the soap just for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792618 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:37:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2792618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just picked up some mini frame ornaments from aaron brother's and i'm going to scan and scale down artwork my 4 year old made and put them in the frames for grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792615 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:26:59 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2792615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: Love that idea! I am going to have to store that one away for future gift giving occasions.</p> <p>We made salt dough ornaments this year using DS's thumbprints to make a heart and then I let him paint them.</p> <p> <a href="http://mamapapabubba.com/2014/11/21/fingerprint-heart-ornaments/" rel="nofollow">http://mamapapabubba.com/2014/11/21/fingerprint-heart-ornaments/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792595 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:58:03 +0000 Dahlia 2792595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my best parenting move thus far in my daughter's 2.5 years: I took her to our local paint your own pottery place and had her paint ornaments for the grandmas. $5 per ornament, she had a blast, and the studio does all the clean up. I think the grandmas will love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792590 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:42:36 +0000 josina 2792590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that have done painting on fabric, does acrylic hold up? DH picked up christmas green acrylic instead of fabric paint, wondering if I should chance it or go buy the fabric paint instead.<br /> I'm planning on the christmas tree tea towels above. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792579 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 07:31:26 +0000 caterw 2792579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a plain white apron one year and did handprints all over the bottom. I stamped "Grandma" on the top- it turned out really cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792478 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 13:58:31 +0000 josina 2792478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I've seen these, love incorporating the kids' photos!<br /> @Ms. RV: Such a great idea, and so simple! DS would LOVE it.</p> <p>@alphagam84: @kiddosc: I've done the salt dough ornaments with DS for myself but need to do DD this year, would be a great gift idea!<br /> @kiddosc: I LOVE the tea towel idea! Sold! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792472 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 13:37:13 +0000 kiddosc 2792472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did salt dough handprint santas one year and turned them into ornaments. They turned out super cute, this is a picture of our actual result. Last year we did handprint Christmas trees for my oldest and foot print reindeer for my baby. We did ours on paper, but the pictures I pulled from the internet show them on napkins which would be a cute idea too. </p> [attach=1439/17/p166e1.600x600.santa-ornament.jpg] [attach=1439/17/p166e3.600x400.handprint-tree.jpg] [attach=1439/17/p166e4.435x600.reindeer.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792463 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 13:27:02 +0000 alphagam84 2792463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my daughter's first Christmas, we dipper her feet in paint and pressed one foot on a ball ornament as gifts for the grandparents. This year we're doing salt dough ornaments with a hand print. Not homemade, but we do a calendar for them with pics of our daughter which is always a big hit. For mother's day (but you could do for Christmas), I let my daughter paint flower pots and then we potted a plan in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792461 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 12:36:24 +0000 Ms. RV 2792461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD makes ornaments each year. I get wood cutouts from the craft store, paint a base coat, attach a ribbon and let DD paint them. Here is last year's (she was 15 months). </p> [attach=5855/17/p163ko.337x600.15136184899182057270191.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792455 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 11:55:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2792455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunday school just made these (the bodies were just yellow construction paper and they used the white paper doily halves for the wings) and they are ADORABLE. </p> <p><a href="http://www.lexingtonfamily.com/2011/11/craft-corner-make-angels-for-christmas/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lexingtonfamily.com/2011/11/craft-corner-make-angels-for-christmas/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-grandparent-gifts-from-kids-what-are-you-making#post-2792451 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 11:38:10 +0000 bubblegum 2792451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh good post!
