National Grandparents\u2019 Day is celebrated in the US on 10th<\/sup> September, but really, any day grandparents and grandchildren get together is a special day. Strengthen that special bond even more with these Grandparents\u2019 Day Activities for kids.<\/p>\n

Have a No-Parent Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best grandparents\u2019 activities with grandchildren often happen when no parents are around to spoil the fun. Take the grandkids on a lunch date, go to the zoo, visit a museum, or go to the movies. One-on-one time with a grandparent is a treat children treasure, and they\u2019re often more willing to talk if mom and dad aren\u2019t around to listen in on the conversation.<\/p>\n

Coloring<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to go out to have fun. Coloring pictures is a wonderful way to bond with kids. As you work on your work of art together, you\u2019ve got plenty of opportunities to chat about whatever springs to mind.<\/p>\n

Share a Special Book Together<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bedtime stories are special moments for kids, and even better when grandparents are reading the stories. Reading\u2019s a wonderful time for snuggles, silly voices, and sharing. Read a story you loved as a child, or share a personalized book that makes you and the child the stars of the story.<\/p>\n

Take a Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes the simplest Grandparents\u2019 Day activities for kids are the most memorable. Taking a walk through nature together, one small hand nestled in yours, is both relaxing and fun. And if you should happen to end the walk at a candy store or ice cream stand, no-one needs to tell mom and dad unless they want to.<\/p>\n

Cook Together<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cooking together brings families closer, especially if you\u2019re sharing a favorite recipe from your own childhood. Talk about what food was like when you were young, and how your family ate. Baking cookies with grandma or making a casserole with papa will thrill kids\u2014and they get to share the finished dish with the rest of the family.<\/p>\n

Have a Games Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s technological world, kids associate games with electronics. Why not teach them to play the games that were popular when you were a kid? Whether you\u2019re playing snakes and ladders, checkers, card games, or pencil-and-paper games like Battleship, a games night bridges the generation gap and leads to lots of laughter.<\/p>\n

Share Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grandchildren think grandparents are very old, and that\u2019s fair enough\u2014when you\u2019re five, everyone is older that you, and if nana\u2019s older than your mommy and daddy, then she must be really old.<\/p>\n

Making some hot chocolate, sharing some cookies, and stalking about \u201cthe old days\u201d can be a memorable experience for both grandchild and grandparent alike. Kids will have lots of questions about the past, and gain a deeper understanding of their family history.<\/p>\n

Teach a Hobby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grandparents have a lifetime of cool skills and hobbies, and passing those abilities on to the next generation is one of the most rewarding grandparents\u2019 activities with children. Whether your special skill is woodworking, breadmaking, scrapbooking or fishing, grandchildren will be eager to learn to do it. \u201cGranddad taught me to do this\u201d is one of the proudest boasts a child can make.<\/p>\n

What you do with grandchildren, of course, ultimately isn\u2019t important. It\u2019s the time you spend together and the memories you share children will remember. And one day, when they\u2019re grandparents themselves, your grandchildren will remember you and smile. Because, finally, they\u2019ll truly know how much you love them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
