A Special Gift from Grandpa

Grandparents are always wondering what to get kids for their birthdays. This year, why don't you give your kid the gift of family history? Ask her grandparents (or another relative) to write down 10 interesting facts that your child doesn't yet know about them. You’ll offer your relatives a wonderful way to share a part of themselves, while preserving a bit of family history. As an added bonus, your child will practice her reading skills as she pours over this very special document. Who knew Grandma and Grandpa were so fascinating?

• Pen or pencil
