September Features

Fall and December  Activity Kits Available

Well, I’m back to school. It’s hard to believe that summer vacation is over. I really enjoyed the extra time with my grandchildren. Some of the activities that we did together are included in this months newsletter. Be sure to check them out and let me know how they worked for you and your grandchildren. I always appreciate your comments and feedback.

Grandma & Grandpa’s Dress-up Box

Create a box full of fun things for your grandchildren to dress-up in when they come to visit. Fill it with old clothes, hats, shoes, and jewelry. I like to look for interesting things at thrift shops or yard sales. It’s easy to find some hilarious things that your grandchildren will love that are inexpensive. Children love to create funny outfits. Encourage your grandchildren to write a short play to act out or read a story and let them act it out. Be sure to take pictures to preserve the memories. I like to keep my dress-up items in a plastic box that I can slide under the couch, it’s easily accessible and also easy to put away.

Monthly Newsletter

Each month my newsletter features new art activities, math and reading learning games and family activities. Also, I will share great websites and other helpful information. Free patterns are always included.
