GREEN GRANDPARENTS is not affiliated with any political party and does not advocate for or against any political legislation or issues. All our puppet projects are made with recycled and repurposed materials. Start collecting your "art" supplies and combine them with your grandchildren's creativity and imagination...and you have one of a kind, unique messengers to connect us to Mother Earth through rhythm and music.
All the program ideas are original works that have been tested in classrooms from kindergarten to sixth grade so we know that they work well with all levels of ability and can be expanded to accomadate many children. The projects are "volunteer ready" with directions and patterns easy for Green Grandparents and other special Green people to follow.
