I got this as an add-on through the kindness of Barbara Dorminey of Canton, Georgia, for the shelf at the old soldiers' home where a lot of grandmas visit. It is nicely laid out and illustrated and divided into six chapters.
While this is written by a Christian educator, there are many general activities and Ms. Smith hopes that readers will use this as a starting point to inspire their own pastimes visiting with the kids. It is not high tech. For example, "Magic Rubbing. Are there any objects in your pocketbook such as a coin, a button, a paper clip? Place the object under a piece of paper. The child rubs with a crayon, and the object appears."
There is a recipe for Dyed Easter Onions and A Stir-Up Our Hearts Pudding. Also The Microwave and Moses, use the microwave to share a Bible story.
In grandma's kitchen, I remember her baking bread. And in my dad's mom's house, we would sit near the oil stove and she would blow into empty Rx bottles, to make them whistle. I was easily entertained at age four.
