It seems that it’s time to bring back some of the greatest KIDFUN tips that may have appeared long ago because, well, Ryan keeps re-inventing them, like Stepping Stones. Instead of stepping from paper to paper as if walking carefully in a pond, Ryan discovered a package of large colorful rubber bands and made a path from the foyer to the living room to the hallway to the kitchen, the family room and back to the foyer. And, she not only jumped from one to the other, being careful not to slip into the pond — especially with that mean old crocodile looming nearby (her grandfather!) — I followed along and did exactly what she commanded. “Jump from here to here, Grammy!” It was my pleasure and so great to watch her being creative as she developed her own path … without a word of encouragement from me. Maybe she’ll be the next KIDFUN author! Maybe your kids will be! Remember, we’d love to hear your creative ideas for fun — your kids ideas, too!
