A blog for Happy Books For Kids, where grandparents can learn fun, educational activities that help them connect with their grandkids.
These last few years have been tough as we’ve all been asked to stay separated for so long. Now that we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, it can be difficult to find fun ways to reconnect with family. Our beloved Grandparents bring so much beauty into our lives and because we’re finally able to spend time with one another again, you may be looking into how to bond and become closer with your grandchildren, or help your kids and your parents create the bond that you had with yours. Here, we’ll give you 5 easy ways grandparents can bond with their grandchildren. 1. Kids Book Club Book clubs aren’t only for adults! If you’re a grandparent who wants to create a deeper bond with the little ones in your life, a weekly virtual or in-person book club could be just the thing you need. Pick a day of the week and the best kid's books from websites like Happy Books For Kids, and get to reading! The standing date will bring a bond because the kids will look forward to it, as well as trust in the structure of a weekly time to check in, laugh, and bond. 2. Plan A Trip If it’s possible, a trip with the whole family is an easy and ever-so-fun way to bond, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Road trips, beach trips, and day trips to the local museums give us the chance to reconnect and remember all the things we all love about each other. Welcome to your blog post. Use this space to connect with your readers and potential customers in a way that’s current and interesting. Think of it as an ongoing conversation where you can share updates about business, trends, news, and more.
3. Cooking Class
There are tons of online recipes that you can make with your grandkids, that don’t require the stovetop or oven. Choosing a fun kid-friendly meal and cooking with the youngest members of your family is a lovely way to connect and best of all you’ll have a yummy treat at the end that you can all share. Pro Tip: The sweeter the better!
4. Learn Something New
With so many children's books online about a variety of cultures, you can bond through the exploration of a new place or topic. Decide on a topic, place, or people, and get creative. Maybe you read a book about a time in history and then visit a museum together. Creating memories, and learning something new will have you feeling closer than ever.
5. Write The Story of Your Family
Together, grandparents and their grandchildren can create their own original kid's books that tell the story of their family's lineage. What’s the story of your family? Where did you come from? Who are the most impressive people in your history? Depending on the age of your grandchildren, they or you can write out little facts and they can color pictures that depict your history. In the end, you'll have a book to read together, and something they look at and remember you, even when you’re not around.
There’s no wrong way to bond with your grandchildren, and the most important thing is to always lead with love. We hope you’ve found these bonding activities helpful, and can’t wait for you to create amazing memories together.
