I have told all family & friends that I am not buying xmas presents this year as I have no money. So, dd and I are making them instead...
dd is nearly 2.4 so there is a limit to what she can do. I am totally stuck as for what to get my parents, it ought to be something a bit special.
So far, for my own grandad & aunt, we have painted in all different colours a big cut out I did of a cat, it looks really nice actually. My parents were well impressed with it so I wish I'd saved it for them!
And for all my friends & my sister, we have cut out the shape of dd's arm/hand and painted them, to make bookmarks. dyou think this would be appropriate for my boyf too, who hates clutter/junk? something for him would have to have a specific use I think, he isn't likely to put up pretty little kiddy arty stuff in his room! (I have actually bought him something else myself too).
I did buy 2 t shirts for my parents, I was going to do some of dd's handprints or footprints on them but a) discovered the finger paints wash out anyway b) dd decided she didn't like having her hands painted and c) I'm a bit paranoid about giving them the t shirts cos my mum is pretty big and i'm worried i got a t shirt that's too big . gone off the idea....
so, any ideas along those lines that grandparents would appreciate please??? i am at a loss.
Oh PS it was my mum's bday recently & we made a big birthday card of a collage of different painted shapes so it'd need to be something different from that ...
