Super Granny: Great Stuff to Do with Your Grandkids

Great book for all Grannys

"Super Granny" is a great source of excellent suggestions for age- appropriate and practical activities that provide fun, learning and lay the groundwork for a meaningful and loving relationship. A great book for granny's (and grandfathers) who don't want to depend on the amount of money spent to enjoy grand kids, but instead depend on imagination, and ingenuity by learning the many useful ideas shared in this insightful guide to being a generous and greatly appreciated grandparent. This book is a treasure of tips for giving every grandkid lasting experiences and valued memories. Good for any parent or caregiver who cares about kids. Grannys unite for more fun and playtime!

Super Granny

This beautifully-written book captures the shared experiences of grandmothers young and old, experienced and new, frightened and self-assured, and internationally located. It is written in language that is clear, at times humorous or serious, and is inspirational in its choice of examples of grandmotherly activities and ideas. Author Sally Wendkos Olds has travelled extensively, is a wonderful researcher and observer and knows what is important to convey to the reader. When I reached the end of the book I knew that even though it was over I would still be going back to it time after time for reassurance, projects, and suggestions.

This is a WONDERFUL book!

This is a great idea, very well executed. Having grandchildren is certainly fun, but everybody can use some help. This book is crammed full of terrific, inexpensive (sometimes free) ideas for things to do, things to make, ways to bond, etc. with grandchildren. It's realistic..the grandmothers who contributed are real people with real excperiences. I recommend it completely. A terrific gift for a new grandmother. She'll thank you; I guarantee it.

Hats Off

Hats off to Sally Wendkos Olds! This author has written a book that grandmothers everywhere can enjoy with their kids.

Each chapter has age-appropriate activity with a plethera of unique and clever ideas.

Outdoor projects include gardening, shell collecting, playground fun,scavenger hunts and camping.

Others range from the classics, baking gingerbreads, quilting and "dress-up" to composing on the keyboard, helping with homework and even fun on the slopes!

This book is a perfect resource any Granny can enjoy.(and mothers too)

Good Ideas for Grannys (and Pop Pops)

Delightful stories from all over the country. Author's words about each entry are well written and humorous. Wonderful ideas for things to do for grandkids of all ages.

A Great Resource!

Okay, so I'm biased. My granddaughter, Michaela and I are featured in the chapter starting on page 159. Nevertheless, I think Sally did an outstanding job of coming up with a terrific concept and finding great information on how that concept works in actual practice! I grew up without grandparents (they had all died before I was born), so had to learn on-the-job, not only with Michaela, but with my other grandchildren. This book has given me all sorts of ideas on how to be a long-distance grandmother (most of my grandchildren live in other states), as well as fun things to do with Michaela and the other grandchildren when I do see them.
