Metal Garages

If you are a grandparent, you already know that there is nothing in the world like spending time with your grandchildren. Whether you are called Pops, Grand-dad, Granny, Meemaw, Popie, Mimi, Grandpa or Grandma—we know it’s your favorite name in the whole wide world. Honestly, next to having your own kids, nothing in life has been as rewarding as being a grandparent. Build that love with these three fun ways to bond with your grandchildren.

You Get a Line, I’ll Get a Pole

For a kid, a day on the water is a dream come true. Find your closest pond, creek, lake or river and enjoy the day together. Collect crawdads and minnows, cast your line for large-mouth bass, or float along the river in your canoe. With endless, electronic-free fun to be had, a day on the water will provide memories to last. And you never know—you might even sneak in some heart-to-heart conversations that will influence their life forever.

Crank, Crank, Crank Away

Want a fun old-fashioned project that will leave your taste buds tingling? Teach your grandkids how to make homemade ice cream! They will love coming up with their favorite flavor concoctions. Teach them how to load in the ice cream base, insert salt and ice, and then watch them build their muscles. Let them try their hand at turning the crank if you have a true, old hand-crank machine. You can even start a competition and reward the child who can turn the handle the longest. Extra syrup, sprinkles, and cherries are definitely items worth working for. This type of bonding will be something those grandkids will want to do every time they come to visit.

Build Me Something Grand

One of the best ways to bond with your grandchildren is to build something together. Whether you are working on wooden flower boxes for the front porch or a treehouse big enough to hold the whole gang, there’s bonding to be had in building together. Make sure you always have a project going on that little (and not-so-little) hands can help with. It means the world to a kid to see the fruits of their own hands displayed for all to see. Set your grandchildren up with their own tools and workbenches in your VersaTube garage or workshop shed. They’ll know there’s a special place just for them when they come over to visit.

VersaTube has the perfect garages and sheds available to maximize your bonding time with your grandkids. You can even build our VersaTube DIY kits together for one incredible family project.
