Now that I’ve shared Valentine’s Day gift ideas for kids, friends, your child’s teacher and even your significant other – it’s time to focus on the grandparents today. This easy kid gift idea was a “spur of the moment” craft the other night and I’m so glad I took the time to create it with my son. We were able to make these “Berry Much” Valentine Handprint Cards within minutes and get them in the mail the very next day.

Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families. So handprint crafts like this one made by our son, is extra special to send to the grandparents. Sides that – handprint crafts are just the best to do at this age anyways. With kids growing so fast these days, it’s great to create keepsakes to remember those tiny hands.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and make these “berry” cute cards to send the grandparents today. Don’t forget to make one for yourself too and throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping!

Supplies:

* White/Tan Cardstock
* Black/Red/Green Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Scrapbook Stickers
* Scissors
* Glue Stick

Directions:

* Simply paint your child’s hand completely red and press it on the white cardstock. To give the look of a strawberry – simply draw on some leaves and add some black dots on the handprint. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, trim out the front of the card and glue to a piece of cardstock, that is folded in half.
* To finish the card, add your scrapbook stickers to say “Love You Berry Much” on the front. Then add a special message inside and slip in an envelope for mailing.
