Arts and Crafts
Take a break from television for some creative family crafting. Spread newspaper or cardboard over the kitchen table and, voilà , you've got a craft room! Pick a project and assemble a kit for everyone. Ideas include:
- Creating birdhouses from recycled material
- Making holiday ornaments
- Decorating aprons, T-shirts or other apparel
- Designing wearable art
Or let each person bring his or her own hobby to the table. You can admire each others' talents and progress, or teach and learn new skills. Just think how much confidence your child will gain from teaching Mom and Dad or his or her siblings how to do something!
