Answer 5

I have 3 small kids. Me and my six yr old son are in the process of making an All About Me Book. Every day we add to it. Yesterday I asked him to tell me a story. I wrote some of the words down on sheets of paper and then asked him to illustrate it. He drew pictures to go with the story. Kept him busy for hours! My 2 yr old daughter and I make Twig Furniture for her Barbie Dolls. We go out and find little twigs and clean them up a bit and glue them together to make pieces of furniture for her dollhouse. (chairs, tables, beds, etc...) This is also a nice project for boys as well. My son likes to make stuff for his action heros. Just get bigger twigs. I have an area in my home where I have their framed artwork on display. Whenever they get bored I give them some paper and crayons, paint, markers, etc. and tell them to paint me a picture to frame. They love doing this because they love to see their artwork on display. They love showing it to friends and family when they visit. My youngest is only 3 months old so he has a while yet before I have to worry about him. I have thousands of awesome ideas. Holidays, birthdays, pretty much for anything. If you want to chat, e-mail me. I can give you some sites or excerpts from some of my craft books. Good luck!
