Grandparents Day is observed on the first Sunday of September, immediately after Labor Day every year. It is that auspicious time of the year when the special relationship between grandchildren and their grandparents is recognized and celebrated. As such, this special occasion is marked with great fervor and gaiety in United States and various other parts of the world. Kids and people begin preparing for this day well in advance searching for special gifts to present their grandparents with. By doing so, they attempt to share their heartwarming and genuine feelings of love and affection with their dearest grandparents, who have stood by their side throughout their upbringing. While the elders are mature enough to surprise and delight their grandparents, little ones are often left behind in getting involved in the festivity. We present you some easy to make and wonderful crafts for preschool kids in the following lines.
