My grands have always been artistic, the Little Grand is particularly interested and quite good at drawing.
Little Grand and I like to make our own story books. Sometimes outrageous made up stories and sometimes well known stories or songs. We have one that we've kept and read almost every time she comes over "Itsy Bitsy Spider" that I put on the April photo a day page. Baby Grand likes it too and makes the little hand signs while we read/sing out loud. Sometimes we use D-rings to put together birthday cards or Christmas cards then make up a story to write on the backs of the card pages. This is really a fun exercise in imaginative play.
