Video games, expensive crafts, wild recipes that make huge messes….do our kids really need all that much to keep them occupied?
Last night the kids and I did one of the most basic activities you can do – we colored. That’s it. No fancy markers that change color or blend, or special paper or paints. Nope, just coloring book pages and crayons (alright and a few basic markers – but they didn’t do any special “tricks”). Honestly, I haven’t sat down and actually just colored for no reason since I was a kid. Wouldn’t you know it was actually FUN!
It made me think though, how little it really does take to entertain kids. Even my 7yr old boy shut off his GameCube and colored with us. Pretty amazing, huh?
