While you're busy preparing dinner, let the kids experiment and enjoy the process of making something to eat. To keep "Is dinner ready yet?" questions to a minimum, entertain younger kids with one of these instant-art projects:
SET-THE-TABLE PLACE MATS: Offer crayons, markers and place-mat-size paper. Let the kids draw where the plate, cup, glass, fork, knife and spoon go, while they learn how to set the table.
CREATE A BOOKMARK: Cut pictures from used greeting cards and magazines, glue them onto the front and back of a strip of construction paper.
COLOR A LUNCH BAG: Decorate a week or two's supply of white or brown paper lunch bags with markers, crayons, glue sticks, stickers and glitter.
STRING COLORFUL PASTA: Make a bracelet or necklace by stringing colorful hollow pasta onto yarn. Remember to be on hand to tie it when it's ready.
CREATE A COLLAGE: Use cut-out or torn-out pictures from magazines and used greeting cards to create pictures of a favorite place, a dream room or a family vacation everyone would like to take.
WRITE A STORY: Staple together several sheets of blank paper. Let the kids write and illustrate, then read their stories after dinner.
MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC: Place a square piece of waxed paper over the end of an empty paper-towel tube, and secure it in place with tape or a rubber band. Let the kids hum their favorite tunes into the tube.
