Feature Articles for March 2003
 Here are some simple activities for those times when the kids say, “there’s nothing to do.” *Give each person a large piece of paper and some crayons. Sit in a circle. Draw a picture of the person sitting across from you. Then take a vote to see which drawing is the most realistic. *Locate a trashcan or wastebasket. Crumple up some paper into balls. Take turns tossing the balls into the container. Start up close for the younger players and move farther away to make the task more difficult for older children. *Show kids how to cut “snowflakes,” using paper and scissors. *Adults and children can play a favorite board game together. Afterwards, fix a simple snack of fruit and crackers. *For a creative evening, turn off the television set. Read a classic book together; play tic-tac-toe; make oatmeal cookies; play bingo; make a block city. Courtesy Growing Child- www.growingchild.com |
