Videos that are not just for your kids



With all the technology that is out there, it is nice that they have finally made a toy that is fun for your entire family and you don't need to be a space pilot to figure out how to run it. Also their selection of games is not just shooters and weird games that your kids seem to like, but Olympic, golf and carnival games that keep everyone's attention.

The nicest thing about about the system is that the controller is motion controlled. You swing your arm like a bat and the system, somehow through the magic of technology, mimics your movement on the game. I have tried to play my kids games and I am sorry, I just cannot push all the little buttons that my kids do and win the game. This system on the other hand, this is something that I can get behind. Family nights just got a new group of activities.

A family who crafts together.... is crafty



I wonder that at the beginning of Michaelangelo or Raphael's life that their parents sat around together for family time and did crafts together and that's why they became the Renaissance men that they did. All I know that it couldn't hurt if you tried out this theory.

No, but in all seriousness getting together as a family to do some arts and crafts is a fun and healthy way to bond with your kids. Help your kids express their creative side and in my opinion it is much better then family time behind the television.
