My oldest isn't a problem since he loves to draw too. He has been learning a lot about Lovecraftian horror the past couple of years and loves to show me his drawings. <br /><br />Another thing for the kids to do is give them sidewalk chalk, they love it! Easy clean up too.Steve Santiagohttp://www.facebook.com/stevesantiago.artistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407232537925205678.post-47561789015640065892012-07-03T11:09:31.326-07:002012-07-03T11:09:31.326-07:00Thank you Steve.

CLAY!! oh, that's a good idea, I'll get my hands on some of that ASAP.<br /><br />Yeah, we try to mix it up, but it is frustrating how easy it can be to slip back into video games. It's something we both are working on. <br /><br />(btw, i love your artwork!)galen dara https://www.blogger.com/profile/02987352194018060353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407232537925205678.post-19956027656922397032012-07-03T10:50:51.394-07:002012-07-03T10:50:51.394-07:00Hi Galen, I have 3 kids ranging in age between 7 a...Hi Galen, I have 3 kids ranging in age between 7 and 14. It is a constant battle to keep them busy while I'm trying to draw. I have tried giving them a daily reading hour where they are to read or draw pictures about the story, but that only works for so long. My 7 and 11 year old girls can entertain themselves with clay for quite a while (but guess who has to clean up)! I don't want them playing video games all day either so I know the struggle. Good luck!Steve Santiagohttp://www.facebook.com/stevesantiago.artistnoreply@blogger.com
