If you are looking for a real fun activity with your daughter without spending a lot of money, creating a stylish craft or cooking in the kitchen together are some of the best ways to spend time with her. Regardless of your daughter’s age, it always feels great to have something that you have created together.
Parents can bring out the creative side of their preschoolers while preparing meals as it is often observed that children love to help in the kitchen. After measuring each of the ingredients, you can have your daughter pour these into the bowl and let her mix them. You can also encourage her to do a simple craft by helping her to make a collage of feathers, sparkles, and beads. Cut a picture frame out of a cereal box and let her decorate this with plastic flowers and colourful objects.
If your daughter is in grade-schooler, teach her how to make a scrapbook. Gather all the needed materials such as album, glue, waterproof ink pen, and photos. Let her help in designing the scrapbook so that she can appreciate the value of being creative and resourceful. Both of you can also create a cardboard jewellery box where she can put her accessories. During holiday season, organise a decoration making party and encourage her to participate in the activity.
For teenage daughters, you can teach her how to cook her favourite dish. Both of you can enjoy cooking meals, preparing movie snacks, or even creating a recipe book. Other ways to enhance her creativity are to let her help you decorate her old room with more mature designs by adding colourful patterns on the walls and home made curtains.
