Grandparents and their grandchildren usually have a very tight bond. It is exciting for the kids as they prepare presents for their grandparents. One can make a big deal out of this by telling the kids that it’s going to be a secret. You can help them buy or get an old but big enough picture frame. Then get an old family picture that you treasure and stick it on the frame together with whatever Christmas decorations that you choose. Alternatively, you can help them make the more popular quit from old clothes of their choice and both the granny and the kids will find this a brilliant idea. - Help them make gifts for each other
You could also help the kids make gifts for each other secretly. This will keep them excited and they will be looking forward to Christmas day.Help them come up with what the other sibling would love as a small present. This will help enhance a close bond between them and they will grow to appreciate each other and become better friends. - Take them outdoors
You can have loads of fun making a snow-man and you could even come up with a concept like the snow-mans family and you can make all these people and have a blast. You can also drive through the city or the neighborhood, watching all the Christmas decorations.
