Making Stuff Up
When was the last time you and your kids made up a story or song? This is a fun thing to do together as a family. Not only does it encourage creativity in your child, but in yourself as well.
Many people making a full time living as an artist started out as kids who were encouraged to do something creative with their lives. Summer doesn’t have to be a time of endless boredom, broken only by the playing of video games.
With just a little innovation you can turn every day into one of productive fun and new skills learned. By the end of the summer, instead of a bunch of slacker kids ready to return to school just to break the monotony, you might have a budding artist on your hand.
