Dulcinea's Insight

Doing some repairs around the house or building something can be a great way to spend an afternoon with your child. To find projects for kids try looking at home improvement store sites—for example, The Home Depot’s site can show you how to find Kids Workshops in local stores. You can also purchase plans for projects online; author David Stiles’ Web site sells plans for tree houses and other (less ambitious) woodworking projects.

You’ll find additional ideas to help keep your kids entertained, including directories for festivals and museums, in our findingDulcinea Entertainment Web Guide.
