It’s hot. It’s easy to park children in front of the television. What are some better alternatives?
Books! Do more outside earlier! Splash! Make some popsicles from fruit juice. Build a spaceship from a refrigerator box. Do a new craft: check your local crafter store — and even your local big box hardware store. Plant something. Eat watermelon. Even well chosen videos? Is the computer a better or worse choice?
How about asking the children? After all, most generations amused themselves.
What are your ideas?
