Creativity
This month’s printable page is a coloring page with a child enjoying a moment of discovery and creativity as he/she is about to discover if their boat will float. I hope it encourages children to create a boat or floating device of their own and create their own experiences of discovery.
Suggestions:
- Talk about the beauty of nature, creativity, and exploration.
- Create a story around what the child is doing.
- Encourage your child to create their own floating device and experiment/or have fun with it.
- Enjoy the moment of coloring together.
I wanted to create a printable that would focus on expressing what our homes mean to us by completing the drawing.
Suggestions:
- Give few instructions to allow for personal interpretation
- Give everyone a chance to express themselves as they would like. This could mean creating a magical and imaginary space, a recreation of an actual home situation, or an abstract interpretation of what we wish our home space to be.
- Use this as a starting point to explore the concept of home.
- Have fun!
These little challenges help children and teens stimulate their creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.

- Focus on cooperation rather than competition between siblings.
- Add your own suggestions, which could include writing a song, inventing a new instrument, having a poetry jam session...
- Do as a family.
- Use as needed and have fun!
