Grandparents Day was founded to bring families close together to celebrate their Grandparents. In their younger years of school, children will often celebrate the day with their classmates by allowing their grandparents to visit their school during the day. This way the children can share their activities, and allow their grandparents to meet their friends. Here are a few ideas for preparing food for the day:
As for food on this special day, some suggestions include cookies, crackers and cheese, perhaps hot savories, and fruit platters – finger-food is generally the rule of the day, as it's easy to prepare and gives everyone a bit more time to spend enjoying the day. Fruit punch (made from ginger ale, orange juice and tinned fruit pieces) is a quick and easy way to quench everyone's thirst. There are many other food items you can include, according to the tastes of the children and their guests.
On occasions like this, children are usually encouraged to bring along a plate of something to share with everyone. If you prepare this with your child, it can be a unique way of doing something special for their grandparents. Baking cookies or muffins is something that most children LOVE to do. Why not let your child help you make their grandparents' favorite cookies?
Grandparents Day is important to celebrating the people who had a hand in helping you and your children grow up. There are many different food ideas you can use, most of which you can prepare with the help of your child. Whatever you end up doing, it's bound to be a really enjoyable day for your parents and your child.
