Do your young grandchildren live far away? I’ve heard from many of you who are at a loss as to how to connect with them. Perhaps you write the children letters and send them cards. You talk with them on the phone. Maybe their parents send you pictures of their soccer games to your cell phone. You probably send the grandkids gifts on their birthdays and at Christmastime if not more often.

I’ve got to ask — How is that working for you?

For many of you, your answer has been “Okay, but not great.”

I’ve been in your shoes and I found a wonderful answer.

As a child, I had fun, creative aunties in my life and wanted to be like them for my niece, Rachel, who lived miles away. Of course I tried all the traditional methods of staying in touch, but it wasn’t until I invented something special for her that we really clicked.

On a rare visit, Rachel had learned that I had a gathersome of elves who visited the little playroom under my stairs. So I decided to help those elves create the Elf Toy of the Month for her. Each month I sent off a different toy, craft, or other gift from the Elves of Glimmer Glen™. Often the gifts related to the current season, like the little Valentine mailbox with tiny Valentines I sent in February. Rachel was delighted to receive a package each month just for her. She knew the elves and I thought of her often and consistently! I loved that we always had something to talk about on the phone. Rachel is all grown up now, and our bond remains strong, nourished by the Elf Toy of the Month I sent to her years ago.

You might say this experience gave me a mission to help others bond with the young children in their families. If you have grandchildren the ages of five, six, or seven, you too can help the elves send their Elf Toy of the Month and experience the benefits.
