Clearly I love a craft project and the structure it teaches. But I am also a huge proponent of allowing kids to let their imagination run wild and to create without boundaries or restrictions. My 6 year old made me this fruit bowl yesterday. She's my fifth child, and it wasn't always easy for me to stand back and allow thick brown plastic packaging tape to smother pretty pink tissue.
This holiday or weekend or rainy day, make sure you've stockpiled some cereal boxes, toilet rolls and tape. If you have the materials available, it makes it so much easier for kids to experiment. And you can put the kettle on...
