Grandparents near and far should be celebrated daily, but if you need an excuse... Grandparents Day is September 8th, 2024! It's the perfect day for the kids to show their grandparents how much they love them.
| Here are 10 Ideas to Show our Love on Grandparents Day: |
1. Have the grandchildren make a special card to tell them how much they are loved.

9. Create a craft project, such as a scrapbook, together. Or decorate a picture frame and add a family photo for a keepsake memory.
10. Think about others! Make cards for a senior home or even visit if allowed. You will make a grandparent's day ... even if they're not your grandparents! You might want to consider the Woodbridge Senior Center.
