Grandparents Day has been celebrated by grandparents and grandchildren together on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September since 1978. Grandparents Day was created to bring the generations closer together through bonding activities, whether together or through long distance communication.
Are you looking for grandparent poems and fun things for grandparents and grandchildren to do on Grandparents Day?

Grandparents Day Gift from Grandchildren
Here is a quick and easy Grandparents Day gift for the grandparents:
- choose one of the grandparent poems with your child
- copy and paste into Word – change font, size, color as desired
- glue photos of the grandchildren around the poem
- place the poem page in an attractive frame
- gift wrap it in a bright and cheery gift bag with a homemade heart card (see below)
Grandparents never have enough photos of their grandchildren. This gift is something they can enjoy every day they aren’t visiting with their grandchildren.
Suggest to the grandparents that they do the same so the grandchildren will feel connected to them, especially if they aren’t able to visit often. Grandchildren hold their grandparents’ photos while they chat on their computers or phone.
