Get out the box of craft supplies and create something fun, whimsical, or beautiful with some kids in your life. Quality time with children is never time wasted—it’s fun for all, and the attention of grownups makes the kids feel loved and wanted. And it sure beats sitting in front of the TV.
Set aside an hour to work on a project. Share your favorite crafting activity with the kids, or learn a new craft together. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; the kids will appreciate your investment of time in them, no matter what you’re doing. Your creative pursuits will make you and the kids happy; plus, you might end up with some personalized art to keep for yourself.
