Do you love spending time with the grandkids but struggle to find ways to keep them entertained?
You are not alone. Finding ways to bond with grandchildren can be challenging.
Don’t worry! Here at Delmanor, we have compiled many ways to bond with the younger generation.
Have A Dinner or Lunch Date
A great way to bond is over some delicious food. Invite the grandkids to join you for an elegant meal at a Delmanor restaurant or a more laid-back meal at our in-house pub or café.
Love to cook? Share a beloved family recipe and wow the grandkids—or better yet, teach them how to make it in our demonstration kitchen.
At Delmanor you also have the option for a private, catered party.
Whatever you fancy – casual, elegant, private, cooking, or done for you – Delmanor has you covered. All you have to do is enjoy the memories.
Have A Movie Date
Choose some of your favourite movies, or have your grandkids bring their favourites. Turn down the lights, get out the cushions and blankets, make some popcorn and snacks, and create a movie theatre experience in the comfort of your suite.
Take Out Old Photo Albums
Show them pictures of you when you were their age, or of their parents. Tell them funny stories of when you or their parents were kids.
Explore Your Surroundings
Each Delmanor building is located in a bright, vibrant community. Take a walk with your grandkids and explore.
Pop into a cute shop or café. Explore a local art gallery, watch a show, or take a walk along a new street or park.
Play Games
Take a trip down memory lane and teach the grandkids some games from your childhood. Share stories and memories as you play.
Ask them to bring some board games that they like to play and get them to teach you their favourites.
Play in your suite, outside on a nice day, or in the Delmanor café. Perhaps even enjoy a snack and a drink as you play.
Take Advantage of Local Festivals and Events
A quick search on the Internet can help you find festivals and events that are happening in your area. If you need assistance, a Delmanor employee would be happy to help.
For example, for residents of Delmanor Prince Edward, some upcoming events in the area that kids would enjoy are an Easter egg scavenger hunt, walking tours along Jane St., and a Ukrainian street festival. You can find all the details here.
Although these ideas are a good starting place, it is important to remember that each person is different. If your grandchildren are into art, perhaps painting, crafts, or an art gallery would be great options. However, if your grandchildren are more outdoorsy, then an outdoor festival or nature walk may be more up their alley.
Have fun, use your imagination, and make memories. You can do it!
