Getting Creative with Kids

Whether you are just getting tired of a long winter or just looking for some new ideas for having fun with the kids, I thought this article had some great ideas. It's called "100 Ways to Keep Little Kids Happy" http://www.parents.com/parents/story.jsp?storyid=/templatedata/parents/story/data/1205253638265.xml&psrc=fpparentsmag031208p3

I can remember my family building forts in the living room, using the couch cushions, blankets, and chairs. Those were great times and we had a lot of fun!! I also remember on Sunday evenings when I was really little we'd turn on the music and all of us would dance to John Denver in the living room. These memories and other's like it, are some of my favorite memories of childhood...and they didn't cost a thing. I sometimes walk into a store, see the huge areas devoted to toys and wonder if my son needs more...but I don't think he really needs the toys as much as he needs me and my hubby and some great interaction, playtime and some fun ideas to get his creative side going....someone is up from naptime, gotta go, it's time to play :)
