Are there any other grandparents raising grandchildren out there, suggestions for activities, support groups?
I am raising my 2 year old granddaughter and need suggestions about free or low-cost activities we can do. I stay at home and when my kids were little, I worked or was in school, so I am not familiar with those things. We are in the middle of winter here and so we can’t get out every day. I have toys for her and read to her, but she gets bored easily, so I am going crazy trying to keep her busy with constructive, positive activities. She’s too young to take to the library, but we go occasionally,but as she takes a nap in the middle of the day and isn’t potty trained, yet, it’s been a real challenge.
We watch some PBS programs during the day, but I limit her time in front of the tube. I don’t have much in common with the mothers in our church, since they are all younger. The women my age don’t have much patience with a toddler, so I feel very isolated here!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I am willing to correspond with anyone who answers.

I have 3 grandchildren and the youngest is a toddler of 3. An active young lady too. I found her needing constant attention and I do many things to keep her occupied. She helps me to make the beds and to wash dishes and we sing songs about everything we do. We go into the garden and pick flowers and I create stories about rabbits and wild animals that she adores. We bake cookies and ice them together. When I am too tired to go on ,we go sit in front of the pc and access sites like bbc ceebees children programs where there are lots of characters like the tweenies,teletubbies and stories and games etc. We also go to www.barney.com and she listens to the songs. We visit disneychannel.com and find winnie the pooh and other characters. I print out pictures for her to colour in.
The other day I was making a beaded necklace for an occassion we had to attend and the box of beads overturned all over the kitchen floor, so we made a game out of it looking for all of one main colour and gathering them together and putting them in separate containers. It was tremendous fun. Oh and she has decided on an imaginary friend called baby dinasaur. We have great fun playing our parts!!! LOL Teach her to paint on fabric and to make cards and spend lots of time with her! Little girls are so cute. I adore my grandchildren.
Best of luck!
