Coming March 8, for sure, your child will want to prepare a gift grandmother. This article - a few tips on how to make an original and memorable gift.
No matter how often your children see their grandparents, do not miss the opportunity to make them happy with a nice surprise from a loved grandchild with or without. This is a great way to support the emotional connection between the native people.
1. Write a letter
Of course, not e-mail, even if your grandmother is not alien to the benefits of civilization. The present paper letter, handwritten and mailed in an envelope with stamps - just like in the good old days. About how was your weekend that new home or school or just good wishes.
2. Create family tree
Nurse on social networks and collect pictures of their brothers and sisters with their children. Draw with your child a big tree and place it in the pictures, so that the roots of the tree were shown grandparents, and children and grandchildren - in the branches, the younger, the better.
3. Make a postcard with your hands
Perhaps the most common and practical surprise from the child. Firstly, it's really a children's gift, which excludes the idea that parents bought and presented to him through his grandson. Second, it does not take up much space and is always appropriate. Depending on the child's skills, you can help him, but do not try to make a postcard perfect. Let it will be more a child than you. This year, I set about trying to make Christmas cards with her daughter in a fit of perfectionism made them yourself - neatly and concisely. But December 30 came down with a sore throat and my chetyrohletka completed its work as it sees fit. As a result, I had to admit: all the charm of these cards smeared with glue - it is entirely merit.
4. To start or continue a family tradition
There is truly an inexhaustible number of ideas. In each family there their holiday and everyday rituals, common interests and hobby. Think about what you could include the child to associate with Grandma ties of family tradition. For example, in the family of my husband's store paintings, embroidered four generations of women.
You can meet once a year for a large family photo shoot, give each other gifts of a certain character, start one big thing in which will be able to put a piece of the next generation of self (to sew a quilt, to collect stories of family life in the big book), do tradition of sports, overall visits to nature or habit of taking pets from a shelter - only you probably know that the best suitable your family.
5. Decorate a kitchen towel or apron
You will need plain cotton or linen towels, a set of markers for textiles or acrylic water-based paints. Prompt your child a few ideas for picture: Draw the whole family, patterned rim on a towel, flowers, or write a word of thanks. Using paint, you can paint the fingers or palms. Details are adjusting, if necessary, and the gift is ready!
Give gifts, attach to this process a little imagination, ingenuity and diligence. And remember: the most expensive - to your attention.
