You cannot petition for them as green card holders. They can apply for tourist visas on their own if they can prove that they have no immigrant intent and have significant ties to their home country.

They can come on a B2 visitors visa, which is issued at the U.S. Consulate of their home country. The purpose of travel on a B2 visa is tourism, pleasure or to visit relatives in the U.S. They must complete an online non-immigrant visa application first: DS-160, pay the fees and go to their interview with supporting evidence of their non-immigrant intent and travel purpose.

The instructions can be found on the consulate's website at www.usembassy.gov.
