How do you like to reward your grandchildren? Tell LEGO® and win a £300 voucher NOW CLOSED

A few coins or a magazine on occasion

I ban technology, and let them loose in the garden to make dens, do pond dipping and make a camp fire to toast marshmallows. I keep a careful eye on them (health and safety), but always try to say yes to their ideas.

I confess I treat my Grandchildren more often then my own two because we have more disposable income now.
We are fortunate to see our Grandchildren each week. I treat them to days out as often as possible, I feel days out tend to be educational, even a trip to the beach looking for shells,counting etc.
Small value treats such as comics are a regular thing.
Treats with a bigger cost tend to be less often or a reward for a special event or achievement . I think I am more likely to buy a treat if I think it's fun and educational, like lego

My time is the best treat I can give them xx

I like to give her my time and full attention wether building with Lego or rolling out bisciit dough I leave my phone it a text arrives anf listen to her conversation

What an interesting question ..... what is a treat ? the dictionary says it is to pamper or indulge or even spoil a child . I think it is more about rewarding , or soothing, or making the little one feel cared for .

So my favourite treat (for me too) is at bath time . We play with pipes ,bottles and small bowls . we build waterfalls, fountains and make mini foam volcanoes with a plastic funnnel . Then finally the biggest treat is for DGS to climb wet and covered with foam onto my lap for a big wet cuddle . The wetter I get the better the treat .

What i always wanted to give my grandchildren was my time, something there never seemed enough of when my children were young. We make models from boxes, cards or just read or play together. My OH and I try to take them out for the day whilst their parents get things done in the house e.g decorating. We all enjoy walks in the countryside.
As toddlers they had the Duplo which our children played with and they especially love the train set , they are too young yet to know there is lots of Lego and Lego Technic waiting for them in our attic!
50 years ago I was playing Lego with my younger brother and now i am enjoying it with my grandchildren , it is a timeless toy.

The grandchildren are given treat money each week and visits to the ice cream shop

Just the pleasure in seeing them after many days is enough for us to give them quick sweets (Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs are always popular) or mini prizes like stickers / trading card packs. However, whether children or grandchildren, rewards still have to be earned. (Even though there's nothing to stop very generous rewards given for those who've earned it! )

Days out, to the park or zoo, or just going for a drive - 2-year-old boys just love that. And at the end of the day, to wind down with a bright picture book or figure placement board game.

And on special occasions, a 'big' prize - an indoor slide, mini bouncy castle, children's educational laptop or (very soon) that bike which he so longs for but isn't quite old enough for yet.

With a trip to the charity shop, where they can buy a pile of books - win all round!

My grandson loves to help in the garden. He likes to come round and sleep over. Watching films together. I don't really buy him toys, I think just spending time together is more important. Plus cake !

My grandson loves "surprises". You can pick up some real bargains in the poundshops and I also collect the Lego sets they often give away with the daily mail. He only gets surprises if he's been a good boy lol

I have 9 grandchildren and since I have mobility problems I can't do as much as I would like to with them. Days out are not easy. When they were small they loved having stories told (made up about them) or books read. I also stored away the Duplo and Lego my children played with and it has come in very handy for when grandchildren of varying ages visit. I save my 5p, 10p and 20p coins in a big jar. It's surprising how it mounts up, and when it comes to summer holiday time I share it out so they have spending money.

I love giving them treats and having things stored away for a rainy day! I have a store of books plus a cache of the small Lego packs that I have accumulated through newspaper deals and in other ways. I also purchase small craft packs from places like Hobbycraft and the Poundshop. I rarely give them sweet treats. Things that keep them busy and away from continuous TV watching are what I prefer as treats!

Making cakes or biscuits - she loves "helping" in the kitchen!

Sweets, chocolate, books, dvds, cash and other things they may want.

With a thank you and a warm hug x

I agree Silver.
My Grandma used to take me on the bus from Manchester to Blackpool in the summer.
In the winter we would play at 'going to pretend Blackpool' - the stairs were the bus, the carpet was the sand and the lino which surrounded the carpet was the sea

I think the best treat that you can give them is your time and attention, whether it's doing some baking, gardening, reading or just watching TV with them. I enjoy all of these and more besides, being a Gran means you can do just that.

I'm not just saying this, but Lego is a very popular treat! Especially anything Princess and Friends related! Fun and creative at the same time! Perfect

The gcs, who are staying with me at the moment, all have so much so it's the small things which give both them and me pleasure. Yesterday it was sitting in the summer house (watching the inevitable rain) decorating gingerbread men, and the floor, with copious amounts of sprinkles and smarties which they then ate before the mummys found out . If it's fine we go to the beach and sometimes, not always, I buy them an ice cream - they love to choose their own and then pay for them themselves, standing on tippy toes.

My grand daughter is only 19 months but I love to buy her books and give lots of cuddles. Yesterday we went on the tea cups at a local Steam Fair as that is as brave as I get. Looking forward to lots of treats in the future, can't wait until she is old enough for us to make cakes together and her treat? To lick out the bowl.

I like to reward them with time - quality one-to-one time. Looking back on my own childhood, it's not presents or possessions I remember: it's the time spent, just me and my gran!

I treat them to toys from car boot sales and charity shops. There's no way i would pay the prices at toy shops, but there are great toys available second hand. Yesterday I took my three year old granddaughter to a car boot sale and she chose a Cinderella head, a dance mat, and a walkie talkie. She's had such fun with them. All this for £1.40!!

My grandson is just 9. When he was little it was easy. A new book to read to him, a toy. He is a Lego addict and has more Lego than Hamleys. His grandfather is easily persuaded to buy him sets he wants, even expensive ones, but he's got to the stage now when he wants the £140+ ones!

Mum and dad forbid those and grandson tries to get us all to give him money for birthday and Christmas, to save up for the sets.

I buy him a subscription to the PDSA magazine, Pet Protectors, every year. He likes that and does the quizzes and puzzles, which of course were very good for his reading and reasoning skills.

The thing he loves most though is if I take one of the dogs over for him to play with. Up to Easter, when his mum stopped work to have his small sister, I was having him after school one or two days and we'd take the dog to the park where they could run around and play ball and we could have a picnic tea.
