The holidays are practically knocking at our door. Translation? Long car rides to our relatives’ homes and post-dinner conversations at the grown-up’s table—inevitably leading to RKS (Restless Kid Syndrome!). For those of you averse to sticking them in front of the flat screen or setting up the portable DVD player (and those of you whose kids have already gotten their fair share of TV time), you might consider having a few crafts on hand. Creativity for Kids’ innovative toys and activities are specififically designed for enriching kids’ natural creativity. The “Make Your Own Sock Puppets” kit is mess-free and allows children to use their own imagination to transform three super-soft socks into puppets. For your little Shakespeare, choose from several book kits with all materials included. These activities are sure to keep kids entertained for hours and keep the television off. (That is until the Cowboys kick off!)
