Not only does it have fun ideas on what to do with your toddler grandchildren, but it also gives you a &#8220;refresher course&#8221; on how to deal with and handle little babies. I am sure the memories of, for example, how to calm a crying baby, how to change a diaper or even the good old nursery rhymes will come rushing back. Or how about top tips to make bath time fun for little guys? Safety tips to make grandparents&#8217; house a safe place for little people or even time-out strategies.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of today&#8217;s grandparents are young at heart and want to enjoy their grandchildren. I really like the varied activities that this book has to offer to this new generation of grandparents: There is a great section on indoor and outdoor fun and games, such as play pirate for a day, planning a scavenger hunt or for the older child, hold a mock election.<\/p>\n<p>The Craft and Cooking section of the book has some interesting ideas: I like the activity of creating a family fun box, or how about baking an Easy-as-Pie Apple Crumb Pie, or sewing a crazy family quilt?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this book is a must-have resource for all grandparents. There are plenty of activities and ideas that will bring fun and enjoyment for both the grandparents as well as the grandchildren \u2013 a recipe for lots of shared memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grandparents&#8217;
