Connecting Grandparents and Grandkids
Ideas for Pre-Schoolers and Early Elementary School
Your preschool and elementary school grandchild loves to pretend and can do so much more now with you. They especially love books. Here are some ideas that will be fun for you and your grandchild in this age range.
Pretend Activities
Pet Shop
This activity is a great chance to let your imagination and your grandchildren's as well! All you need is a couple of stuffed animals and/or plastic animals. You can pretend that you have a rare puppy or a dragon! Let your imagination run wild in this imaginative activity.
Singing Concert
Come one, come all, before this show is sold out! If your grandchild has some crazy, cool dance moves and loves to sing random things, then this is the perfect choice for you! They can pretend that they are a worldwide pop star, and you can be their #1 fan! The only thing you need for this activity is a hairbrush or something else interesting to use as a microphone. So sit back and enjoy the show!
Online Reading
This activity is a great chance for your grandchild to learn how to read, but to do it with you! So choose a book that you and your grandchild both enjoy! You can turn your phone to face the book as you read it to your grandchild and ask them to follow along. Another way to do this is for you to read the sentence first and then show the page to your grandchild. You and your grandchild can also download Hoopla on the Playstore app and then read books together online.
