Celebrate!
There will come a time, sometime during the winter break, when your children will need some quiet time - maybe you're cooking dinner or it's raining outside. Why not have them sit down with the Kid Scoop KID site and enjoy some games and puzzles that you can rest assured are safe and fun. (Some are even educational but don't tell your kids!) Or you can join them and create some healthy snacks or some Xmas crafts. For the artistically minded there's a terrific collection of step-by-step, how-to-draw features created by Kid Scoop's own illustrator, Jeff Schinkel.
And if you don't want them in front of the computer, just download some of our Kid Scoop activity pages on the Holiday theme. There's a wealth of subjects to choose from that will keep them happy and occupied.
Happy Holidays from the Kid Scoop Team!

Dinner Table Discussion "I wanted my granddaughter to know that she could positively impact her day. Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated: 'People only see what they are prepared to see.' Without lecturing her, I wanted her to learn how to take responsibility for the quality of her day. She may not be in total control of what happens in her day, but she can control how she thinks about those events. From that day forward I started saying, 'Make it a good day.'" |
