Children's Day is June 9th this year - it is always the second Sunday of June. So, if you are looking for a fun idea you could try for a gift with meaning, consider making handprint blankets. Just gather the supplies and wrap them up. Then, when your grandchildren open their gifts, you all will be able to make the blankets, put their and your handprints on them, let them dry, and then they will have a special blanket which will remind them of your love for them throughout the coming years.
All you need is flannel or fleece, acrylic paint, fabric medium, and scissors. Follow the directions at this link for how to make a fabric knot blanket, then follow the directions on the fabric medium bottle to mix it and your acrylic paint, apply to hands, and make handprints on the blanket. When it dries, the children you love will have a wonderful blanket!
Be sure to take photos!
