Introduction |
|
If your family is like mine, time with everyone together is becoming more and more difficult. We all have crazy schedules, and its easy to put family time aside for soccer games, school assignments, meetings, chores, and other obligations. Now that some of my children have gone away to college, I realize how fleeting that family time can be, and that there is no substitute for time having fun together, laughing and learning.
If you can set aside just one evening a week, with no other purpose than being together, your family will be greatly enriched. You dont need to plan anything fancy. An easy game, or even just some conversation starters over dinner, is enough to build happy memories. However, sometimes its hard to think of something to do that works for all age groups and engages everyone. That is the purpose of this book.
Included here are some of my familys favorite activities, from silly road trip word games to service projects to cooking contests. Theyve been tested many times over and continue to bring my family many hours of fun. We play the If/Then game on birthdays, and Thanksgiving wouldnt be the same if we werent drawing on paper plates on our heads. I hope these ideas help you plan your own family time and bring you many happy memories as well.

Family Sprouts |
|
Welcome spring with these funny pots that sprout hair in just a few days. Terra-cotta pots are inexpensive and easy to paint, but you can use recycled plastic containers instead. Rather than painting the plastic containers, glue on googly eyes and pom-pom noses instead. Dont forget to make one for the family catcats love to munch on these greens.
Terra-cotta pots Soil Wheatgrass or oat grass seeds Acrylic paints Paintbrushes Sealer |
Paint the pots with acrylic paints to represent family members. Let dry thoroughly.
Spray with sealer to make the paint waterproof. Let dry.
Fill the pots with soil, to about 3/4 inch from the top of the pots. Sprinkle the seeds on the soil, and cover with about 1/4 inch of additional soil.
Cover the pots loosely with plastic wrap, and keep out of direct sunlight for a few days until the sprouts appear. If the soil starts to dry out, gently add a little water (a spray bottle works well for this).
Move the pots to a sunny windowsill. Water when the soil begins to feel dry.
Shamrock Table Runner |
|
Celebrate the Luck o the Irish on St. Patricks Day with this festive, easy table runner. Make it a day ahead of time so the paint has time to dry. Even small kids can help with the stamping. Choose a pepper that has three lumps for a three-leaf clover or four lumps for extra luck!
Long strip of butcher paper or plain muslin fabric Scissors Knife Pepper Paper plate Green paint Paintbrush |
Cut the butcher paper or fabric to the length of your table.
Cut the pepper in half, and shake out any loose seeds.
Squirt some paint onto the paper plate.
Dip the half-pepper into the paint, and stamp onto paper or fabric to make a shamrock. Continue, making a pattern on the paper or fabric, or place randomly.
Paint stems on the shamrocks. Let dry.
