Looking for how to say Happy Mother’s Day to grandma? Here are some great ideas for how to make the grandmothers in your life feel special this year.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about what you can do for the mothers in your life who mean a lot to you. Not all of us have someone that we want to honor on this day, but for many of us, it’s a day to take the time to say “thanks” to our own moms, who are now grandmothers to our children.
I think it’s important to instill a sense of respect in my kids for all that their grandparents do for them, so I try to make sure that they know that Mother’s Day isn’t just a day to honor me, it’s a day to also show some love to their grandmas!
I rounded up a bunch of fun crafts, gift ideas, and more for how to say happy Mother’s day to grandma this year. Hopefully you’ll find something here that works for your family!

A mug is always a great gift for a grandparent, and it's even better if the kids have decorated it themselves!
This little mosaic frame would be a ton of fun for the kids to make! Use grandma's favorite colors and fill it up with a sweet photo of the kids.
