Here are some truly fun and convenient kids' activities with the emphasis on saving money by focusing on easy creative kids activities at home. And since they are mostly 'natural' you'll be using the free resources provided abundantly by Nature (and your pantry). I have a unique interest and expertise in finding fun kids activities at home. For most grandfathers having grand children means a time of just enjoying the occasional visit. Not the case when I became a full time live-in grandfather to my newborn granddaughter. In the end, at my own house, I spent more quality time with her than even most Dads do in a lifetime. This meant remembering, and finding, new and fun activities to share. This time sharing activities from the day after she was born to a schoolgirl nudging teenager years, became one of the best times of my life. And the activities we shared helped to make it so.

Education is not only about being able to read, write, and count. Creativity is a huge part of the educational process and of our lives. Children are naturally creative and they like to be busy, especially if this is fun and something comes out from their hands. Adults often do not recognize the value of this important activity. We can not only spend a great time together, but we can help our kids develop many skills and abilities. It also provides an excellent opportunity for trying new ideas. Creativity is what makes a difference in developing creative ways of thinking and problem solving. Creativity is much more than product: it is a process. It is a specific form of self-expression. It is to learn with inspiration from personal experience. The importance of a childs creative process is also in the opportunity to experience and explore materials. Cooperation is an important component in the creative process, which is directed by the adult, but should be a result of the childs preference. This kind of activity can help us learn more about our kids, about their feelings, their way of thinking, their uniqueness and their mental and emotional health. Childhood development of creativity is not about telling them, but showing them, and doing it with them.

ISBN: 1426971672

The central idea of this book is that saving energy and water saves the households money and simultaneously help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. It also aims to give readers better understanding of the green concept to enable informed participation in the current discourse pertaining to environment and climate change. The first chapter reviews environmental issues confronting the world in general and the U.S. in particular. Chapter 2 discusses federal energy efficiency programs that relate directly with energy saving and resource conservation efforts in households. Chapter 3 focuses on measures of saving energy at home including use of compact fluorescent lamps, taking advantage of residual heat in electric stoves, energy-efficient ways of using kitchen appliances, informed choice and use of home heating and cooling systems and others. Chapter 4 deals with conserving water inside and outside homes including use of high-efficiency toilets, low -low shower heads, etc. The economics of energy and water use efficiency, covered in Chapter 5, quantifies the savings derived from most of the measures discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. The goal is to show in dollar terms how much households could save by following green practices at home. The challenges of dealing with solid waste from households are examined in Chapter 6. Particular focus is given on "Pay-As-You-Throw" (PAYT) scheme in waste collection systems and fees as well as the three Rs in waste management - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Recognizing the impact of children on energy and water use at home, the author devotes Chapter 7 on educating and engaging children in green practices. Two framework proposals aimed at enhancing sustainability of green movement in the country are presented in Chapter 8 including establishment of green camps and providing tax incentives for going green at home. Proposal for establishing green camps is directed to private business sector or non-profit organizations and the government while the tax incentive proposal is directed solely to the government.
