Grandparents love to get valentines, and there are lots of ways to make Valentine's Day really special for them. Use the following possibilities as a starting point to help your kids create their own valentine treats for Grandma and Grandpa.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Art And Craft Supplies
  • Buttons
  • Rubber Stamps
  • Valentine's Day Greeting Cards
  • Greeting Cards
  • Blank Cassette Tapes
  • Beads
  • Photo Frames
  • Wooden Frames
  • Baking Supplies
  • Videocassettes
  • Rubber stamps
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Include a recent photo of your children with the valentine, especially if their grandparents live far away.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
