I wanted to form a relationship with my new grandson Milo, but he lives far away, so I created Grandparent Games. I use it to play with him and to form a relationship with him. But it is also part of a plan of mine to teach reading, math, geography and a few other subjects in the right way to little kids before school screws it all up.

From this project I also created I Miss That Kid so parents who are away from their own children due to travel or other reasons can still connect and be a part of their children's lives.

Milo loves to play Grandparent Games a lot, even when I'm not around. So I made Milo's Place where any child can play the games while sitting on their parent's lap, or by themselves when they're ready.

I also have some of the games on an iPhone app called Alphabet Animations. Now children can enjoy the animations on the go.

Here is a video of Milo playing Grandparent Games with me (click here if video does not load):
