Here’s the ultimate resource for today’s super grannies, with super-powers to captivate their grandkids! It’s got 75 cool and creative projects, all grouped by age from infancy to adolescence (2–18). And there’s something for even the most computer-savvy kid, along with more traditional forms of entertainment, including treasure hunts, dress-up, and crafts. Many of the ideas encourage reading and writing—but always with fun in mind, such as creating a blog or a family cookbook. Handy icons help Grandma pinpoint those projects that suit her pocketbook, energy level, and interests; there’s even one for long-distance grandmothers seeking to connect with their grandkids. A copious listing at the end suggests informative Web sites to check out.
