Family Fun Activities

Most kids are able to create a game or craft project out of a few odds and ends and a little creativity, but you may be looking for a more structured activity from time to time. The Web offers plenty of ideas to help you think of places to go and things to do with your kids.

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, Home Depot's site will show you how to find Kids Workshops in local stores.  You can also purchase plans for projects online; David Stiles' site sells plans for treehouses and other woodworking projects.
