Fun and Creative Fashion Ideas for Kids

paintable shoesWe don’t often think of fashion as fun, especially for kids. Either fashion is practical or it’s following the current fashion rules or it’s ridiculously out on a limb and only meant for rich people and models. But making fashion “fun” is a great way to expand your child’s imagination and creativity.

Here are some great ways to introduce kids to some fun and creative fashion.

  1. Give your kids ribbons and let them make an article of clothing out of them.

How to Nurture Your Child’s Creativity

shoe painting kitCan you nurture creativity?

Sometimes we like to think of creativity as something you’re born with. You either have it. Or you don’t. But that’s not strictly true.  Creativity is a talent that can be encouraged and strengthened and there’s no better time to nurture it than when your child is young.

You know, those cheap plastic toys and candy wrapped inside a cute bag that your child hands each party guest on their way out the door as a thank you for coming… Continue reading

These Boots Were Made for Walking…at Zoo Safaris!

IMG_3029Visits to the zoo make for a fantastic combination of science lessons and fun viewing your favorite animals. Walking around the zoo, however, often makes for tired and cranky kids with sore feet. Rainy days add a new problem with soaking wet shoes.

Be ready for whatever the weather brings and bring on a day of walking rain or shine. Plan ahead for a delightful adventure, and why not add a brief art class into the mix.

Learning happens when children are involved with a hands-on activity while they listen. Combine a day of art and painting with learning about… Continue reading

Boot Therapy

shoe painting kitAw, the tie that bonds, or is it a paintbrush? Sometimes talking things out with a professional is a good idea. Other times, all that is needed is some time together with those you love.

Sitting down to paint alongside your son or daughter is very therapeutic. It creates a special mother/daughter, mother/son, father/daughter, or father/son bonding that is priceless. Not only is it therapy for the hands with every brush stroke, but it’s calming mentally as well. Certainly buying a MyDesign design-your-own rainboots DIY for kids kit is a lot more affordable than weeks of therapy sessions.
