I love it when the kids make me things, even a card. The funniest is when they do things at school that attempt to describe me and my hobbies, likes, etc.
I love getting those little treasures too, they are the best!
This is so adorable! I just finished mine for the grandma’s 🙂
I love hearing that, hope she enjoyed it!
This is TOO cute! Any way you could make the download editable or make one to say “Nonna” instead of grandma?? I just love this!
Thanks Amy! Send me an email at mariah(at)gigglesgalore(dot)net and I will help you out with this.
What type of paint is kid safe but will also not wash off?
I used acrylic craft paint from DecoArt. It is not washable though, so I always have my kids where smocks or old paint shirts so it doesn’t ruin their clothes. When doing it with small children I would have baby wipes on hand so that you can quickly clean off the paint so they aren’t tempted to put those tiny little fingers in their mouth.
Love this! The printable only says Grandma- Is there one that says Mom?
