Summer is almost here! Some schools are out already and some will be out soon.
Many of us will have the privilege of watching our grandkids while their parents are at work. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t want to see my little guy sitting in front of the tv all day.
[socialpug_tweet tweet=”13 Fun activities you can do with your grandkids this summer!” display_tweet=””]
Here are a few tips to make the summer routine easier plus some great ideas to keep them busy!
- Suggest that your grandchild brings over a Rubbermaid tub of toys from their house. Every other week swap out the toys – take back what you have and grab some new ones.
- Be sure you have at least one change of clothes that you keep at your house. A bathing suit and towel too – for water fun in the heat!
- If your grandchild still naps be sure you have one of their animals, a blanket or something to make nap time peaceful.
Now for the fun stuff! I’ve searched around and found some great ideas to keep the kiddos busy this summer.
