   Brainstorm for fun

To have fun with your family you don't need a big budget, but for those lacking of ideas here is how. Sit down with all the member of your household and give each one a piece of paper and a pencil. Write down activities and its cost (if known) and then decide what it the best activity for your budget.

Craft Night  All you need is a box of crayons or pencil, scissors and construction paper. Those who have kids yearly buy this items, taking advantage that you have them around put them to work.  Select a theme sketch with your kids in a piece of paper; then draw on the construction paper   and create bi dimensional piece, then put them all together in a collage and set them up into a special place  for the exhibit.

 If you have  budget to spare; A pair of shirts and fabric paint will make a fun project to customize them with your kids names and their ideas.
