She says, "Did you know that kids call their grandmothers "Nonno" in Italy and "Dziadek" in Poland? Put your grandparents on the map with these educational Grandparents Day crafts and activities. Plus, learn how to say "grandparents" in American Sign Language and write a message in braille."

  3. Selena has already given us the greatest gift for Grandparents Day. The other night she wanted to say grace at the dinner table, so we obliged. Her prayer was: "Dear Jesus, Bless you, And Thank you for Grandma and Grandpa. Amen" Nothing could top that especially coming from a 2.5 yr old!

  4. Thank you for sharing our frames today. G&G's think it's great to have an unbreakable frame to display at their house too-since little fingers love to touch :)
