Step 1
Help your children make or choose valentines for their grandparents ' they could use rubber stamps, stickers, paper cut-outs, crayons, markers, or many other craft supplies, depending on their ages and artistic abilities.
-
Step 2
Include a recent photo of your children with the valentine, especially if their grandparents live far away.
-
Step 3
Ask your children to tape or videotape a valentine's message for their grandparents. This makes an excellent keepsake for long-distance grandparents, although it does take a little bit of organization.
-
Step 4
Get a couple of small, simple picture frames, heart-shaped if you like, and help your children decorate them ' they could glue pretty buttons or beads on the frames for a romantic, vintage look, or paint and stencil them with tiny hearts and flowers, with your help. Insert a recent photo of each child, and send the projects to Grandma and Grandpa with love.
-
Step 5
Send home-made objects as Valentine's Day gifts for grandparents ' even children as young as three or four can roll beeswax candles or string beads onto a necklace, with some supervision.
-
Step 6
Make up a care package for Grandma and Grandpa. This could include home-made and decorated cookies or cupcakes, a favorite brand of tea or coffee, and a book or magazine, as well as a valentine card.
