I have been really trying to make sure all of my daughter's activities have at least SOME educational value. This is not easy to stick to, but it can be done. I even bought her a little app for her iPod touch called Little Cook. In that game she gets to mix all sorts of ingredients into different meals that get tasted by a little feisty food critic. Still, she is learning about what food combinations go together and which ones do not. Like I said, it's not easy, but making activities at least somewhat educational is not impossible.

I LOVE that photo! My greatest joy as a parent is watching my kids create plots and props for imaginitive play – it never ceases to amaze me how much is going on in their heads! Thanks so much for a great article.

What a great article. I find it is so wonderful to watch kids develop their own ideas, to think outside of the box, if you will. You can visually see them learning and rising to the challenge of entertaining themselves. Thanks for the article to remind us of that.
