In this day and age, increasing numbers of men and women are working full time jobs, which is leaving little time for family enjoyment. It’s no longer: daddy goes to work while mommy stays home. Instead it has evolved into Mommy and Daddy go to work while Susan gets dropped off at day care or with the baby sitter. Having fun as a family is important. It is a way for families to bond. And while it is important that both parents have the opportunity to further their careers, they also need to make sure that they are remembering to make time for their children.

Family Fun

There are a lot of family projects out there that get the entire family involved. Keeping the interest of children is sometimes a challenging job in itself, but there are a few fun projects which they are sure to love. One family fun idea is to build a fort. If you ask any kid, building a fort is one of the most fun things to do, and there are so many ways to do it!

Building A Fort

To build a fort outside, you can use anything you want. Allow your children the freedom and creativity to come up with ideas on their own, but also feel free to throw in little advice or tips here and there. For example, if they want to pull all of the cushions off of your couch to build an outside fort, you may want to politely interject here to suggest that they use something else that you don’t mind getting dirty (ex: cardboard boxes, etc.) Take them out to the garage and point out several things that they can use that you’d be ok with such as boxes, old blankets, string. Allow them the creativity to do what they want, but at the same time don’t be afraid to get involved. If you want, let them invite a few friends over and have their friends bring one or two items each to add to the whole “fort” experience.
