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

I would like to say books and educational things... If I'm honest: Chocolates!

A trip to the park which is 10 minutes distant, with sandwiches for a picnic lunch. Costs nothing.

Last week I bought them (ages 8 and 5) a pair of velcro bats and a velcro ball to play 'catch ball'. It cost £1.99. Play in the park, then catch ball, then back to play on the swings/slide etc before home. Picnic and catch ball, or football, breaks it up and we get to spend longer out of doors.

Running around and playing, meeting other children, means they bicker less, cooperate and when they get back they're happy have dinner and watch a cartoon waiting for mum or dad to pick them up. They

Big monetary treats are for birthdays/Christmas. We don't regularly spend money on 'things' for them. Perhaps on a day out they get an ice cream but no toys.

They each got £10 from us (Granny and Granda) when they left this morning for 2 weeks holiday abroad.

When they were younger I used to buy them a comic , some sweeties and perhaps a little craft kit always made sure it was posted in a little parcel as they used to love getting a surprise from the postman. I always accompanied this with a short note telling why they were receiving it i.e. Taking part in a play at nursery or perhaps tidying their toys up for a week. As they have gotten older I send money still with an accompanying letter which I illustrate with the 'funny' things their Graddad and I have been up to like the day I rescued a pigeon from the garden pond! I try to only reward them when they have done something which has been a challenge for them but often just send them money because I love them and I know as they are now at boarding school they like the letters and the money comes in handy for take away pizza.

I don't really treat them as such. What I do try to do if they're showing an interest in something that isn't a computer game or something to do with Superheroes is buy them something relevant to that eg one of them has been given a rather difficult colouring book so I specially bought some colouring pencils that would make it easier to colour in. We do go to MacDonalds once a year and I have taken them to see a pantomime in the past. Also buy them dvd's of films they have seen at the cinema that I want to watch so we can watch them together.

My little grandson is just one year old but already loves books, so that's how I treat or reward him. He is an only grandchild on this side and the first one for 15 years on the other side, so - he gets treats all the time (we have to stop). He is rewarded by all four his grandparents with frequent cuddles and kisses.

I treat him in much the same way as I treated my own children - books, reading and cuddles.

I love buying them books, especially books I will enjoy reading to them. "My Granny's a Pirate" is popular with DGS2 as is "10 Little Princesses "( as he solemnly announced "When I grow up I'm going to be a Princess")

"Fluff the Farting Fish "(thank you Gransnet! ) is especially popular with DGS1.

Can you guess? I am working on being a subversive Granny !!
