Celebrate Grandparents Day with Activities and Crafts

The first Sunday following Labor Day is fast approaching. Do you already know how you will celebrate Grandparents Day? Try some of these fun and educational Grandparents Day crafts and activities:

- Put grandparents on the map! Did you know that kids call their grandmothers "Nonno" in Italy and "dziadek" in Poland? Visit MyGrandPlace.com to see the names that kids around the world use for their grandparents. Next, print off a free world map from Eduplace and color it. Write the grandparent names that you have learned inside the outline of the appropriate country. Mount the map and give it to grandparents to let them know that they are the best grandparents in the entire world.

- Learn to say "grandmother" and "grandfather" in American Sign Language. Have children prepare a video for grandparents with a special message.

- Write a note in braille for the grandparents. You can find the braille alphabet and numbers on the AFB website. Use dots of glue and sprinkle with sand or salt to create texture. If your grandparents don't read braille, be sure to provide a written version of the message that they can understand.

- Have kids learn a special Grandparents Day song to perform. The Holiday Zone has songs to choose from.
