Any ideas on a birthday gift I could give my Dad for his birthday from his two granddaughters who are 1 and 4 years old?
Playing off of sarah's idea... I just saw hand prints in bright colors done across the middle of a piece of paper and then they drew stems on them and grass on the bottom of the page to make them look like tulips. they were adorable!!
My husband loves his coffee cups that have the grandkids pictures on them.
Here's what I did, and it turned out super cool. I got a small canvas and 2 different colors of paint (you'd need 3) and did handprints. I did mine and then when it was dry I put my daughter's over that. It was cool, showing the different sizes. With your daughters, you could do yours, then the 4 year olds, then the 1 year olds. It's unique, fun for the kids, and my dad loves it.
Snapfish does a good coffee-mug - upload your fav pics of your girls and him and you're done. :)
My dad loves the corner pieces of brownies. I got him a "more corners" brownie pan on Amazon. Would've bought the "all edges" brownie pan but it cost $10 more.
we have painted shirts with thier hand prints. Picture mugs, Picture shirts. They have drawen pictures and put them in frames that say I love you Grandpa.
I love the ideas suggested. I'm a big picture person.
Have them draw pictures, mat them on some scrapbook paper and frame them together or separately. Put their names and ages on them. If your 4 year old can write, have her write her name on it or the message (may take a few sittings).
Last year my 3 year old gave Papa a special rock she found. It's kind of their thing. They have a small basket of rocks that has been her favorite thing to play with when she visits.
Is there a special toy they like to play with him? Maybe buy more of that toy or something similar - for them to play with him together. My mom's favorite gift from my brother was the wind-up Pac Man he picked out for her when he was a toddler. She kept it until she passed and he has it now. :)

They have AWESOME good quality photo gifts.
I use Kodak all the time. Very pleased. EVERYONE loves what I have given them from here.
Many things to choose from.
ALSO, I do an annual photo Christmas ornament from Kodak.
Very special and it shows my kids, growing up each year. And it will be a keepsake ornament for them too, when they are older I will give it to them for their own Christmas tree/family.
Check out www.personalizationmall.com. They have great personalized frames, like "Our Heart Belongs to Grandpa" and you can have your kids' names engraved on the frame and insert a cute picture of them. It's about $18. I have gotten many personalized frames (especially as baby gifts) from this site and they are always a hit. Try to cut and paste the below link into your browser, for an example of one of the frames. Good luck!
