Do you have a print-friendly version of it? Also, that’s good that you mention taking time to rest and relax! My grandson is 2 1/2, and I found this past weekend that taking time between “events” just to let him play inside with the toys we have for him in the corner of our living room was so important to help lessen the overstimulation and exhaustion that can happen at a young age. We went from playing at the YMCA nursery where I volunteer, to getting a haircut, to eating a special fast food treat, to an afternoon at a local nature and art festival, culminating in a ride across the river on our unique small town’s historic ferry boat! The ferry ride was a last-minute impulse, and I’m glad we did it, but in retrospect, it was a huge day even for an energetic boy! He was beside himself, needing a nap, which he finally took on the way home when his dad picked us up because we couldn’t walk another step! I am so glad we took time to “chill out” before that long stroller ride to the festival and all those activities.

Our 5 grandkids all love it from the 5 year old to the 13 year old. And it is a life skill they are all proficient at.

Go to the library with your grandchild and have him/her choose a book that you can read and discuss together.

Choose a recipe to read and follow the directions together. Enjoy the completed masterpiece with others. (any age)

We sewed purses together and I put a post on FB to find local fairy gardens to visit. We spent a magical day visiting local fairy gardens at people’s homes and “public” fairy gardens. Very fun time for all!
