Co-creation is a great idea that both develops and brings together. The main thing is not to dwell on the perfect result.
Together, drawing and crafts, parents get closer to children, share their thoughts, establish trusting contact.
But what exactly to do? Here are some ideas for family creativity.
Cooking with the whole family
Children often love helping adults in the kitchen, if they are patient enough. Cooking together can be a great family tradition if you set aside a Sunday night, for example. You can cook a national dish, something new, or just what the children love the most.
Also, do not miss the opportunity to cook together on the eve of the holidays: cookies before Christmas, cakes for Easter, etc.You can even invent a new dish with the children and try to bring it to life.
Crafts
There are a lot of options here: sculpting, appliqués, origami, creating jewelry, postcards, even a home newspaper about important and interesting events of your family.
Crafts can be timed to coincide with the holiday or just arrange a home exhibition of them.
Drawing
Painting techniques that do not require extreme caution and special skills are best for collaborative creativity.
For example, you can paint with your palms on a sheet, paint on glass. From the palms on which the paint is applied, you can create fancy patterns, animals, plants, real paintings.For painting on glass, it is worth taking paints that are easily washed off if you have selected a window or door for creativity.
It is very important in family creativity that all its participants are really interesting. Parents will need maximum peace of mind and positive - then the process will be a joy for children. And it is precisely these moments that they will remember with warmth over the years.
