Summer Gifts for Grandkids: Keep Them Off Screens

Summer is long, and the right gift can be the difference between a season of screens and a season of actual outdoor play. Our full summer gifts guide is built around picks that get used outside and on road trips, no screens required, across those long unstructured afternoons. If a road trip is actually on the calendar, our road trip gifts guide covers mess-free art, travel games, and audiobooks that buy real quiet in the back seat. And if summer camp is the plan instead, our care package guide starts with checking the camp's rules first, then layers in stationery, card games, and comfort from home that actually survives a duffel bag.
