Grandparents near and far should be celebrated daily, but if you need an excuse? Grandparents Day is Sept. 10! It's the perfect day for the kids to show their grandparents how much they love them.
Here are 10 sweet ideas on how your kids can show their love to grandma and grandpa on Grandparents Day:
1. Make a special card
Have the grandchildren make a special card to tell them how much they are loved.
2. Connect long distance
Have grandparents out of town? Connect your kids with them through Kinzoo Together, an interactive video-calling platform with games, stories, and activities built right in. Long-distance family members can play, read, laugh, and grow meaningful relationships — no matter how far apart they are!
