Today is National Grandparents Day! A day meant for us to reflect on the grandparents we have in our lives and take the time to show them some appreciation for the things they do, and the wisdom they share with us.
To celebrate the occasion, we’re shining a light on an amazing grandparent from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Grandpere! Daniel loves his Grandpere, and they get up to quite a bit of fun when they spend time together.
Let’s explore some of our favorite moments shared between Daniel and his Grandpere in the video playlist below:
Who doesn’t like spending the day at their grandparents’ house? In this clip, Daniel and his family are visiting Grandpere at his boat house home, and sing a song about how nice it is to be together as a family. It’s important to show appreciation for the time you get to spend together, which is just what Daniel and his family do.
Watch as Daniel and Grandpere play a fun game of pretend together, using their imaginations to sail the ocean. It’s a ton of fun!
One of the best things about spending time with your grandparents is doing special things together.
In this clip, Daniel and Grandpere get to share special moments together, including learning a family handshake, and exploring some of Grandpere’s things. It’s nice to spend special moments with your grandparents, learning from them along the way.
A hug is a very special way to show someone you love them. In this clip, Daniel gets the best hug from his dad and Grandpere.
