We’re planning to send a greeting card for Y’s grandparents. 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 daughter. We were able to make these “Berry Much” Handprint Cards within minutes and get them in the mail the very next day.

As an expats, we live pretty far away from both our families. So handprint crafts like this one made by our daughter, 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.
