In preschool, daycare and primary school settings, when it comes to planning gifts for the children to make for their families, picture frames with photos inside remains a great choice. Following are some ideas...
Frame options:
Popsicle sticks stuck together with a glue gun
Paperplate with circle cut out (turns into a flower nicely)
Bought craft frames: wooden or foam (Michael's is great choice)
Pieces of cardboard-with or without the center removed
Styrofoam trays
Decoration Ideas:
Lots of glue is often needed!
- buttons (take photos of child holding a sign saying "Cute as a Button")
- googly eyes
- old puzzle pieces (take photo of a child with the sign, "Love You to Pieces"
- pasta (could spray paint gold or silver after completed)
- letters (spelling love, dad, mom, etc.)
- shells and/or pebbles
- candy wrappers ( "you are sweet")
- pom poms
- bolts (great for Father's Day)
- star shapes ("you are a star")
- tissue paper
- craft jewels and/or old jewelery pieces
- heart shapes ("I love you")
- flowers pictures from old greeting cards
- old maps cut into pieces
- straws cut in different sizes
- colored sand
