You know that I, Devoted Grandma, LOVE coming up with questions to ask the grandkids, and while most of them can apply to nearly any age, I wanted to start breaking them up into different categories and different age groups!
How does one begin a series like this? I say with preschool-aged grandkids (3 to 5) and an easy universal topic: food.
Are you ready to get your young grandkids talking and giggling? Begin by asking them these 54 questions:
- Would you rather eat ice cream or candy for dinner?
- Can you name a food that’s sweet?
- What’s your favorite kind of pasta?
- What’s your favorite kind of soda?
- If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
