kitchen. Doubling recipes, figuring fractions, adding, subtracting -- plus
experiments are yummy! It doesn't get much better than that.
Logic Skills: Teach your children
classic card games like Uno, Go Fish, Old Maid, Crazy Eights. Older kids can learn
basics of Poker and Gin Rummy.
Music: Introduce your children to new styles of music on a regular basis -- Classical, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, Opera, Soundtracks from Musicals, Classic Rock, Popular Music from
60's-90's, Music from all over
World. Not only will it stimulate their minds, but it's a lot of fun!
Art: Go to
library and find a great book about famous works of art. With your children, look through
book and ask them which pieces they like and why. Then, give them
opportunity to recreate
art they saw in
book, using whatever materials they'd like -- chalk, paint, crayons, glue, etc. Your children will surely surprise you with their creativity.

year. Take these ideas and run with them. Not only will your children benefit from keeping their brains active and in tip-top shape, but you get
benefit of seeing their creative, brilliant minds at work. Have a great summer!
