1. Read to them. No matter how old a child is, they love to have books read to them. There's something very special about the time you spend reading with your children.
2. Give them a bottle of bubbles! Another ageless pastime.
3. Grab a ball and head to the back yard. Whether it's tossing a baseball/softball/football back and forth, shooting some hoops, or kicking a soccer ball around, you'll both have some fun.
4. Cook something together. Even the little ones can join in with measuring & stirring!
5. Take a walk. You never know what topic(s) will come up during a walk with a child.
6. Play a board game ... Monopoly ... Trouble ... Parchesi ... Life ... Candy Land ... the list of great board games is endless.
7. Teach them a craft. Kids love crafts :)
8. Watch something on TV together. Discovery channel, Animal Planet, there are a ton of great shows that will help your child learn something ... and who knows, you might learn something, too!
9. Water. Give 'em a little or give 'em a lot ... water is an endless source of amusement and learning!
10. Crayons, paper, scissors, and glue. They'll be entertained for hours!!
