Name ideas for a Young Parents Group?
I facilitate a Young Parents Group in a small town and have up til now called it *TOWN NAM|E* Young Parents Group but this is a tad boring (lol!) and we wanna “re-brand” … anyone want to suggest some ideas for the group? Its for parents aged between 16years-25years with children up to the age of 5 years…we encourage the parents to interact with their kids through play,craft activities, book sharing, singing etc….we also have a creche every three weeks to enable the parents to have some “me” time….they choose what they want to do – sometimes making things for the kids like mobiles, story sacks etc and other times we have things like nail art technicians come in and head massage etc etc…. so – any ideas? We liked Munchkins but another group has this in the area so we cant!!
Snuggle Pots, Cuddle Pies, Bizzy Kids, Schnookums, Tiny Tots, Scallywags, Cheeky Chums or Gromits.
Give Some Creative Moments To Your Family With Family Fun Crafts
If you want to spend a creative and fun filled day at home you should involve your family in making crafts. Some wonderful ways of making craft together are coloring, painting, writing, composing, and making decorative items.
Scrap booking and hand made crafts are highly enjoyable and likeable pastimes for children and adults. They can be the most ideal family fun crafts. With plenty of scrap booking layout ideas, you always have plenty to start with. As scrap booking enjoys a lot of popularity, this craft will find many takers. Getting engaged in this type of craft can be very engrossing and satisfying.
While making crafts you can always have great fun. Kids, for instance, enjoy drawing, painting, and making small gift items. When you step in with your kid craft ideas, and help them give shape to something unique you can have lot of fun. Children can also have great fun giving shape to crafts and honing their creative skills. Apart from helping children craft out designs and items, you can have fun together cooking, reading stories, gym play, and enacting roles.
The best time to get your family involved in making crafts is during winter holidays, Easter holidays or Christmas vacations. With lots of time to spare every one can join the fun of making a wide variety of holiday crafts.
Making small decorative items can be very engrossing. You can hang the decorative items on Christmas trees, walls, hang them on mobile phones, place it on tables, and other places. Seniors can captivate the creative instinct of children by helping them cut out animal shapes or other designs from unwanted cardboard. You can stick big buttons as eyes and a bead as the nose to animal shaped cut outs and make them look cute. These items when completed can give great satisfaction to young and old alike. You can also try out on advent calendars.
You can also involve your family is making decorative items for the table, wall, or door, plus lots of different tree ornaments. Along with children you can also make wonderful greeting cards, gift bags, book markers etc. Senior members of the family will not only enjoy working together with children, but can also spend their time in a worthwhile manner. Having fun with kids, can keep elders in good spirits.
Nothing can be more satisfying than seeing all your family members involved in fun filled creation.
