Got children off school or the grandchildren visiting? Here are a few ideas of fun activities to keep them happy for an hour or two.
Chalk Bombs Use a clean soap-dispenser pump to fill water balloons with a washable chalk-paint mixture - mix 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and a few drops of washable food colouring. Draw targets on the ground with chalk or just let them go wild. Fire away!
Make Sunflowers Slice Styrofoam balls of varying sizes in half. Using tacky glue, cover the rounded side of each half with sunflower seeds. Cut petals from yellow tissue paper, and attach them to the flat side of the Styrofoam with glue. Finish by covering the back side with a circle cut from yellow paper. Attach a ribbon and tie to the branch of a tree.
Volunteer There are plenty of ways for youngsters to contribute to their community. For instance, help out at one of the many animal- rescue organisations.
Check out the Stars Look online for a star chart to get started. Then choose one spot in your garden that gives a clear view of the heavens, and venture out after dinner to watch how the night sky changes hour to hour and day to day. A little fresh air before
bedtime can really help them sleep later too. Collect Leaves
Children old enough to handle a crayon can make angel faces. Lay a leaf on paper and rub outward with side of crayon, creating a silhouette and making different halo and hairdo effects. Remove the leaf and draw in a chin, a face, and an outline for the hair.
Plan a Treasure Hunt On your own, hide little jewels and treasures around the garden or house. Then draw a map with directions or make clues. For an ancient look, let some coffee soak into the paper to brown it with age and while the paper is wet, rip it around the edges.
