Baby Christmas crafts for grandparents
1. Hand and footprint frame with clay
This one is an elegant baby Christmas gift for grandparents. It’s a hand and footprint kit that comes with clay, letter and number molds, and a beautiful frame. Apply the clay to the frame, press in your baby’s hand, foot, and name if you want to and watch it dry.
Once done, add a cute photo and maybe paint the prints to match the photo (or leave it white). That’s pretty much it for this heartwarming baby Christmas craft for grandparents.
They can hang it on the wall or add it to the mantle. It has a really nice, neutral color.
2. Inkless hand and footprint frame
If you love the idea of the frame as a Christmas gift for the baby’s grandparents but you don’t want to deal with the clay, consider getting this inkless one. It’s pretty cute too and there are lots of color options for the frame.
3. DIY clay keepsake
Here’s another cute DIY craft kit with clay. This one comes with air dry clay, a letter and number stencil, display stands and ribbon. Roll out the clay, cut it into the shape you prefer and press in your baby’s hand or foot. Add his or her name and the year using the stencil.
Decide if you want it to be a display keepsake or a Christmas tree ornament. If it’s to be an ornament, be sure to punch a hole at the top before it air dries. That’s pretty much it!
4. Family prints frame
Get the whole family in on the gift for the grandparents. This kit comes with paints, 4 sheets and a beautiful frame to hold the sheets together. Paint each person’s hand and apply it to one of the sheets. You can even add the dogs and kitties paws to the dad’s sheet.
Allow everything to dry before stacking together from the smallest to largest prints. Paint on or write a cute message for the grandparents. And, just like that, you’ve created a beautiful Christmas crafty gift for grandma and grandpa.
5. Mistletoes sign
Baby footprints are already cute! Add in a wooden sign with ‘mistletoes‘ and Merry Christmas and you will have a super sweet and adorable holiday gift for the grandparents.
Grab some kid friendly paint for the sign here. There are loads of other color options too, but I think green fits perfectly.

6. Digital frame
For a more digital option, get the grandparents a wonderful digital photo frame. Load it with tons of baby pictures. Add in photos from family events too for a meaningful Christmas gift.
7. Custom crystal ornament
Order a custom crystal ornament for their tree with your baby’s photo, name and year on it. This ornament is so deeply personal that it’ll be a sweet keepsake they’ll cherish for a long time.
8. Simple ceramic ornament
For last minute baby Christmas gifts for grandparents, this ornament is simple and perfect for first timers. It’s made with ceramic and nicely sized for their tree.
9. Funny candles
Funny candles are always a hit as Christmas presents. Here are two versions of the same lavender candle. One is for grandparents who already have a couple grandkids and the other is for first timers. You can even use the latter as a pregnancy announcement too!
10. Funny t-shirts
If the grand dad loves the movie, The Godfather, he will certainly love this tee! And, for the retired guy, being a professional grandpa is something to boast about!
As for grandma, there are rules on this tee she’ll have fun embodying. And, this one is all about the joy!
Of course, you can always go with customized matching tees. I really like this option. You can choose from basic tees to hoodies and add cute nicknames like Mimi and Pop Pop or go with grandma and grandpa.
11. Mugs
Besides t-shirts, you can also get grandpa and grandma matching mugs! This set is microwave and dishwasher safe and has est in 2027 on the front so it’s great for future grandparents!
