Build with blocks. We've all grown up with building blocks. Some of us still haven't grown out of them. Construction toys are fun for the entire family and a great way to spend time together. Younger kids will love themed sets like Mega Bloks Barbie Build 'n Play Fab Mansion or Mega Bloks SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty Krab Attack. Older kids, and even dad, will love authentic collector's sets based on popular video games. Encourage your children to build freely, letting their imagination inspire them to create unique projects. You never know, you may just be looking at the next great architect or engineer. Put on a show. Who's got talent in your family? Best way to find out is to put on a show and let everyone act out. Break the ice with a game of charades or put on a talent show to get the entire family singing and dancing. Encourage your little stars with a standing ovation and give them the confidence to pursue their talent. You may have the next popstar in your living room and you may not even know it. Create a work of art. Everyone has an artistic side so show your children all the creative activities they can do painting, sculpting, drawing, etc. See what interests them and give them the instruments to experiment. A fun new customizable tool for kids is the Graphic Skinz Design Studio by RoseArt. It lets them personalize small household objects, like jewelry or a plastic toy, and transforms them into unique works of art. By using a vacuum chamber and the assortment of colorful papers, kids can create one-of-a-kind gifts for family and friends, at home. The best indoor activities pull the kids away from the screen and into a social environment where they stay active and develop their creative skills. You and your children will look back at these times together with fond memories. Take a lot of pictures and be sure to keep the activities fresh and new.
