FROM Grandparents:

• Trace your family's geneaology by creating a family tree just for the grandkids that documents uncles, aunts and cousins back a few generations. The ensuing conversations ("Who was great-aunt Victoria?") are priceless.
  
  
• Regale the kids with stories of when they were babies or, better still, tales of "when I was a kid". (See related feature -> A Blast from the Past )
  
  
• Finally arrange all those recipes in a binder to present to eager family members. They'll always cherish it.
