Description

Whether they live on the same block or on opposite sides of the world, kids and grandparents can make memories and bridge the generation gap with this fun-filled activity book in the Family Fun series created just for them! Children will enjoy learning the games their grandparents played (remember cat's cradle?), and grandparents will get a kick out of the gifts they receive from their grandkids. Together they can research the family tree, make a birdfeeder, plant a garden or create their own memory book. Regardless of which activity they choose, they will treasure the time they spend together.
