A Playdatebox is just what it says it is: a playdate in a box. Each month, we curate a group of themed supplies that you can use to simplify the time you spend with your child or grandchild. And since Playdateboxes are designed with grandparents in mind, we include lots of ideas for ways you can “PLAY REMOTELY” with a grandparent or other grownup via videoconference.
Use the ideas here to build a Playdatebox of your own, or, if you are too busy to assemble one, we’ve got a few on hand we can ship to you!
With a few supplies on hand, you can play over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or FaceTime as if you were in the same room together!
