Yesterday I went up to my bedroom with the intention of wrapping a couple gifts for family, that happened to be all handcrafted presents. Both my children came with me and what was meant to be a bit of wrapping turned into a craft fest. My four year old smiled and asked me to bead so we pulled down my beading supplies and we all got to work. I have been working with quartz crystals with my jewelry a lot lately and have been drawn to them, possibly because of their healing properties. So within twenty minutes we had all made beautiful gifts for family with the crystals.
Our beading time reminded me of the importance of arts and crafts for our children and even adults in this world of technology. When I was a kid we would be out there riding our bike, throwing a football, playing basketball, or making a necklace. But my spare time was spent exercising or being creative. At an early age I was creative about how to make a little money. At ten, I was the neighborhood babysitter and making little pictures that I sold to the neighbors. I had no cell phone or laptop. Looking back now, I am glad I grew up the way I did rather than today. The way I was raised is now reflective on my values today as a mother.
Nowadays, I see all the kids on their phone and taking pictures of themselves. The problem is an overuse of this technology does not encourage the importance of socialization and creative outlets. I have certain technology rules with my kids and I am proud of myself for setting them. It is so important to make that time to talk at the dinner table as a family, craft together, play music, sing together, read together, and laugh together. There are old fashioned values that I reflect on and admire more and more, the longer I am a mother. My advice to any new parent would be to make sure your kids have healthy outlets such as exercise, crafting, reading, drawing, playing an instrument. Creativity is so good for your soul.
These above are some of the cool arts and crafts we did yesterday. My 11 year old made the American girl kleenex box and added crystal with beads to the bookmark. My four year old made the charm necklace. I made the crystal earrings and necklace.
