Arts and Crafts Project
Arts and Craft. Decorate a picture frame. This is a great holiday gift for grandparents. Buy a wooden picture frame at a store or a garage sale. If you collect sea shells you can use these. Or buy some small ones at a craft store. Be sure to get tiny dried starfish and a variety of different shells. See if your local arts and craft store carries little, flat glass decorations in the shape of the sun. Maybe look for a tiny umbrella or sandals for the corner of the frame as well. Using wood glue, glue items on the wood frame. Put a picture of your child at the lake or the beach inside the frame. Or put in a picture of them with their grandparent at the pool. Alternative: Buy assorted interesting buttons and glue them on the frame. Put a picture of your child from school or camp inside the frame.
