Materials: Sandwich bag, a piece of paper the size of the sandwich bag, a variety of items you might normally throw away or recycle (magazines, colored paper scraps, wrapping paper, ribbon, yarn, sequins, etc.).
Directions:
1. Create a picture with recyclable items and glue on one side of the paper.
2. Write a short story or poem on the opposite side of the picture. If your grandchild isn’t writing yet have them tell you what to write and they can sign their name.
3. Slide the paper in the sandwich bag. The items from the picture won’t get lost and your grandchild with have the picture and the story they created together.
Variation: You can use a photograph of a special event or a post card from a vacation and write about it. The sandwich bag will keep it protected.
What a clever idea! I’ve always wanted to be a bag-grandma . . .
Great idea. I immediately thought of adding a baggie topper to this project. You could add some ribbon or yarn so that it could be hung. I’m thinking this would be a great craft to do with my grandchildren with a topper that reads: Happy Father’s Day!
Amara is going to love this one!
Love the chicks!
