Coloring in a Coloring Book. You can buy a coloring book in any grocery store just look in the childrens department. Some coloring books incorporate puzzles and other activities. Buy a box of crayons with lots of colors as you can really express yourself. The stress reducing part of this plan is that you choose a picture or activity that feels good to you, something you can focus your mind on. This focusing will redirect your thoughts to less stressed thoughts. The colors you choose do not have to be appropriate to the theme of the picture if you so desire. The idea here is to feel creative, to slow down and release your feelings in your coloring activity.
While coloring pages may seem simple in the minds of parents and other adults these days, they are often the passport into a more creative style of play. Yes, your child will simply color the picture online, but by doing so, she is learning not only to stay inside the lines, but to balance color and texture and to simply use her imagination. If a coloring page for kids is the first step into a full-fledged imagination based entertainment package, it is unlikely many parents will find them simple for long.
Additionally by informing the hotel that you are traveling with small children, many downtown and airport properties will offer complimentary cribs, playpens, high chairs, and in some cases upgrades to larger rooms for additional space and free or discount meals. Family vacations create lasting memories for years to come, and the ability to spend time with our children while they are young is invaluable. Ensure your travels are stress free so you can spend the days enjoying your time together without the added hassles.
