Fun Kids Activities At Home


Book Description

Here are some truly fun and convenient kids' activities with the emphasis on saving money by focusing on easy creative kids activities at home. And since they are mostly 'natural' you'll be using the free resources provided abundantly by Nature (and your pantry). I have a unique interest and expertise in finding fun kids activities at home. For most grandfathers having grand children means a time of just enjoying the occasional visit. Not the case when I became a full time live-in grandfather to my newborn granddaughter. In the end, at my own house, I spent more quality time with her than even most Dads do in a lifetime. This meant remembering, and finding, new and fun activities to share. This time sharing activities from the day after she was born to a schoolgirl nudging teenager years, became one of the best times of my life. And the activities we shared helped to make it so.
