Grandchildren on their way? Be prepared!

Grandparents love when their grandchildren come for a visit.  If you struggle for activities that everyone will find fun, here are a few quick ideas for you:
  •  Play dough.  Licensed character kits such as Littlest Pet Shop, Barber Shop, or Chunky Monkey are a must have when the grandkids are over, and they can entertain the kids for hours.  Play dough is generally non-staining and low mess, so you don’t need to worry about your furniture. 
  •  Crayons and coloring books are a staple, and you would be amazed at the variations that Crayola has come up with in the recent past.  You can purchase extra large coloring books that are almost the same size as the child, or character coloring books like Disney Princess, Bob the Builder, or the Wiggles.   The differences in crayons is significant, and you can get them for little fingers, big fingers, liquid form that only comes out when you shake them, and markers that dissolve with water.   
  • No need to run out and buy a bunch of toys when the Grandkids come and visit.  Rent a tub of toys from Travel BaBees. The tub includes books and videos, and are from varied brand names like Fisher Price.
A great visit with your grandchildren starts with being prepared. Rent them a comfy bed, a safety gate, or a double stroller for walks from Travel BaBees.
