5 Creative Ways to Make Playtime a Learning Experience for your Kid

Playtime is one of the most enjoyable activities that kids love. It is also a highly-anticipated activity especially during weekends and summer vacations when kids have a long time-off from school. But learning while away from school is possible and it doesn’t have to be boring all the time. By incorporating fun learning activities, parents can ensure that their kids are always well-informed whether they’re in or out of the classroom. (1) Play the “chore game”Who says playing and doing chores cannot mix? The “chore game” is a parent-and-kid activity that you can always play while the kids are at home. It helps building your child’s sense of responsibility while showing him/her how to do it and what items go with it. For example in the garden, you can let your kid identify the tools you’ll be using in weeding and cultivating your tomatoes. Another is when you’re cleaning the house, you can ask your kid to identify a household item and associate it with a particular usage. (2) Nature tripping and spotting the flora and faunaNature trips such as a walk at the park or just by staying at your backyard can be very educational for your kids. You can go bird watching, insect spotting or identifying the various shapes of leaves as you walk pass them. Another is by going to the beach. If your kids love building sand castles, you can teach them about shapes and how to be creative with them. By letting your kids feel and use the sand in creating their works of art, you are allowing them to explore their creativity without even talking them into it. (3) Turn that wall into a kid art galleryKids love using crayons, pencils and colored pens. But most of them love using these colorful markers on the walls of your house! Yep, many kids use the walls of their houses in drawing and writing their names on. There are coloring books and sketch pads, but a huge wall is perfect for scribbling and drawing in large scale. Instead of telling your kids not to draw or write anything on your big, blank wall, tell them you’ll allow them to use it to create their works of art. It is rewarding for your kids to enjoy their freedom without being scolded at, because expressing their artful creativity is a way for them to convey of how they see the world around them. By allowing them to express their creativity also allows them to improve and grow their craft over time. (4) Bake, cook and play at the same timeThe fun part about baking and cooking is usually the tasting of the finished meals and pastries. But this time, let your kids help you with the preparation from beginning to end. Going to the grocery is the initial step as there are many things that your kid can see and learn from this place. Grocery shopping can be playtime to a kid, so why not use that opportunity to teach your kids how to identify ingredients, use math in computing price differences, and counting the right amount of money when it’s time to check out at the counter. At home, you can designate the measuring of ingredients, the mixing and the final touches prior to the actual baking or cooking. When it’s time to serve the pastries, let your kid decorate and plate them properly with your guidance of course. If it is a home-cooked meal, let your kid garnish the meal and serve it to family or guests. These small gestures give your kids a sense of pride and accomplishment even if it’s just a regular thing for you. (5) TV or movie time can be fun timeTV shows such as the long-running kid show Sesame Street is an educational and fun way to let your kids learn from characters, adults and kids alike. A cartoon movie such as Pocahontas tells a historical tale, while Hercules tells of a legendary God based on mythology. Letting your kids enjoy and learn may be a challenge. But with the aid of practical parenting tactics, household items, playtime stuff and your goal to make your kids enjoy, learning something out of playtime is achievable and worthwhile.

Buck the Trend-the Smart Money is Going to Creative Real Estate Investing!

The doom and gloom  that you hear on the TV everyday about foreclosures, difficult lending parameters, massive sell-offs, and short sales has peaked the interest of smart investors nationwide.

 

While people with the capital and credit to take advantage of this turbulent time are making money hand over fist, what about normal folks like us?

 

What is the secret to making a killing in this perfect storm of real estate upheaval?

 

Three words-Tax Lien Investing!

 

We are blessed with the best time in history to buy and profit from tax lien certificates.

 

When people have either over-bought or have had a financial down turn, they often lose the ability to pay their mortgage. While this is horrible-it is a fact of life, a fact that we see splashed all over the news every darn day!

 

One very important factor in this inability to pay the mortgage is that these poor folks will also no longer be able to pay their property tax to the county.

 

While you may have the chance to get an extension from your bank, the government wants their money!

 

The money the county tax assessor collects goes to fire services, police departments, road maintenance, etc. So needless to say, we want them to get their money too.

 

When people don’t pay their property tax for a year, the county has the right to auction off the lien (in most states) on that property to collect the delinquent taxes.

 

This is where the smart investor steps in!

 

Not only do you get an ultra high interest rate, up to 50% and beyond, but if the property owner does not pay the taxes within the granted time period (as short as 4 months)…you have the GOVERNMENTALLY enforced right to foreclose on the homes and property!

 

In a nutshell this mean for literally pennies on the dollar ie. , the cost of the tax lien certificate, you get a house, business, and/or land!

 

Most tax lien certificate can be had for less than $3000; many can be bought for less than $500. That’s right you can get a house with NO MORTGAGE for less than $500!!!

 

Now that is a brilliant investment strategy that ANYONE can afford.

 

No stock market speculating, no high dollar-high stakes house flipping, no slow-or-no growth bond investing. Just a governmentally guaranteed investment that at worst pays you ultra high interest and at best gets you a DEBT FREE property for pennies on the dollar…sound about right to you???

The good points of Creative Toys for children this Christmas

Creative toys are a wonderfully positive thing to bring to your kid’s life, and sometimes they can be overlooked in favour of TV and movie themed toys or video games. Creative toys are a much more productive prospect for children, stimulating their creativity and their minds and helping them learn while having fun. They can help to develop important coordination in young children as well as being great fun to use. Offered here are a few creative toys to be on the lookout for this year.

Glow Doodle is a child-sized drawing toy that allows children to draw and trace in three bright colours, by use of either a finger or the included stylus. The surface can be re-used and boasts an instant erase function. For more drawing fun there’s the In the Night Garden Aquadraw. Tomy’s Aquadraw has been a large hit with small kids, allowing them to draw and paint just with water. The In The Night Garden edition features all of their beloved characters from the television series and comes with a pen, roller and stamper!

A different idea for creative kids would be the Crayola Glow Station, that allows children to make all manner of marvellous designs on the glow surface, using the ‘light wand’ that is part of the package. Children can even create designs with the stencils that are provided, and will then see them glow in the dark. Toys such as these, along with traditional crayons, paints and other such things are a wonderful idea for Christmas, offering both education and fun for children.

Need even more creative choices? Check out the Toobie Woobies! Now kids can produce all manner of designs and trinkets from drinking straws! The Toobie Woobies set comes packaged with 200 straws, foam, foil shapes, key-rings, cord and even more to help youngsters produce their favourite things! Another delightful idea would be Aqua Beads. The Aqua Beads are very easy to use and a large amount of fun for kids. Just prepare them into a style, whether or not on your own or using the included templates, spray them with water and let them set! A nice method for youngsters to make art.

Youngsters love to create their own treats, and with the very good Lets Cook Fruit Factory play set they will create smoothies, sorbet, lollies and shakes by adding the ingredients and mixing them up! A fun concept for role-play is the Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice-Cream Shoppe Playset, a fun play set for any child who desires to play at running their own ice cream shop! With the play doh and accessories, it is simple for youngsters to create play treats! The toys here are just a few of the marvellous creative toys around this Christmas.

All of them are easily around on the internet- excellent for getting those creative toys underneath your tree in time for the big day!
