Crafts & Connection: Grandparents Day Event

Choose from one of two simple, age-friendly projects and leave with a handmade take-home treasure that celebrates their special bond. Families can sign up for one of five 45-minute time slots offered on the hour. Please select one ticket per family registration below. Family Portrait Wall Hanging:  Using cardboard scraps, fabric, or wallpaper samples, buttons, ribbon, and cutouts from old magazines, participants will create a unique wall-hanging portrait collage. This hands-on activity invites grandparents and grandchildren to craft stylized fabric portraits of one another, using upcycled textures and materials to celebrate their relationship in a fun and creative way. My Grandparent / My Grandchild Interview Book:  Participants will create a one-of-a-kind envelope book using upcycled office envelopes, collage papers, fabric scraps, and scrapbooking embellishments. This hands-on activity encourages grandparents and grandchildren to document memories, fun facts, and meaningful shared experiences through a simple interview format—resulting in a keepsake that celebrates their special bond.
