School Holidays Activities

Do you have a problem getting your children to read books that you think will be useful or meaningful for their future? Are these books collecting dust on the book shelves?

My children enjoy sitting at the computer playing games or watching television programmes. Putting two and two together, I had my son watched "Restaurant Makeover" with me and work with him to create a slideshow about what we have picked up from the show and this is the result.

I think that the best way for children to learn is by getting them to create their own lessons electronically. Work on such lessons with your children and you will not only save some trees but also money from buying more books. And don't forget the quality time you will be able to enjoy with them doing stuff that they enjoy doing too.

Trees? Sense them.

Yes, Blog Action Day 2009 is over but that shouldn't stop us from talking about climate change.

You see trees?

Boredom? Doodle that out!

If you are a parent trying to save some bucks, start collecting scrap papers and colouring pencils now for your children and learn to doodle their way out of boredom during the coming long school holiday.

First you will have to pick up some skills from Oistein Kristiansen either on his TV programme, "Cows and Crayons" or on his YouTube Channel, Oistein's Art.

Who is Oistein Kristiansen and what is this about? This video will give you an idea what he is into.



So, what are you waiting for? Learn how to doodle. Once you have your children interested in this creativity, you will not have to enroll them in workshops or take them out to entertainment centres or buy them toys to occupy them during school holidays.

Think Green? Think "Hidden Cost"!
