The theme for the July All About Parenting Blog Carnival is "mid-summer madness." I can't imagine a better theme, since our summer has started out with rainy day after rainy day. Not only are the kids out of school, but they're stuck inside the house. It isn't pretty, let me tell you!
When the kids are bored with their toys and can't be outside, how about some computer time? Now, don't groan. There are plenty of creative activities that your kids can do with the family computer and gadgets that don't involve video games or surfing the web. In fact, some of them can make for fun family time!
Younger Kids
- Create a summer scene - Help them take digital pictures of items that represent summer and create a collage to hang in the window. No collage software? Try a free online option, like Photovisi.
- Make an ABC book.
Older Kids
- Have a photo scavenger hunt.
- Design and make custom t-shirts.
- Create video games.
Families
- Gather your favorite family photos and learn digital scrapbooking.
- Script and film a stop-action animation film.
- Set your imaginations free and plan your ideal family road trip.
