Last Minute Grandparents Day Ideas
Every day we should show grandparents our love and appreciation. This Sunday, September 13′th 2009 is a day set aside as Grandparents Day. Are you running behind and need a last minute idea for your children to do for their grandparents?
Try one or more of these quick and inexpensive ways to show love and appreciation.
- Make a homemade card or bookmark and decorate it with love. Older children can write 1 Thessalonians 3:9 on their card. Print or write it out for younger children.
“For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God” 1 Thessalonians 3:9 NKJV
As they are making their card explain that the verse means we can thank God and be happy that we have grandparents.
- Sing “Happy Grandparents Day! (Tune: “Happy Birthday”)
Happy Grandparents Day to you,
Happy Grandparents Day to you,
Happy Grandparents Day, I love you!
Happy Grandparents Day to you!
- Make a video that includes each family member telling a special memory they have of being with them.
- Call or tell them in person a genuine “I Love You!”.
- Paint a small box, put a pretty sticker on it, and fill it with notes of appreciation.
- Make a homemade, special treat that they enjoy and deliver it with a big hug.
- Write the reasons why you love them on a fancy paper. Younger children can draw pictures of a special memory or what they like about their grandparents. Roll it up and tie a pretty ribbon around it.
- Go to their house and do something helpful for them. When you are finished sit down and talk. Have them tell you stories about the old days.
- Make a heart from your fingerprints.
Press each finger on a stamp pad and then put your fingerprints onto a paper in the shape of a heart. Write a special note in the center.
Most of all pray for your parents and grandparents and tell them you love them!
