Other great, inexpensive activities include
1. Cooking and baking. By incorporating children into your kitchen activities, you kill two birds with one stone. They play (for free), and you get some work done.
2. Music. Teaching children to love music is a reward unto itself. Whether it be listening to Mozart on CD, playing the flute, or drumming that wooden spoon, music can be a compelling, wonderful, affordable activity.
3. Reading. If children learn early enough, they can't stop. That you can check out endless books for free from the library makes reading that much better. Books can also be purchased cheaply at yard sales, book fairs, and church bazaars. Have children write their own books. Read to your children every day.
4. Computer. If you have a home computer, the possibilities are endless. CDs make learning fun and can often be found in the bargain bin at the computer store for a few dollars. The Internet is a vast resource of fun and learning. America Online, for instance, has an entire area for kids only. Install an inexpensive blocking program, and let them go explore the world.
5. Sports. Sports can usually be played for the cost of a football, basketball, or Frisbee.
6. Games. They need not be expensive. Puppets can be made out of lunch bags. Use old clothes for dress-up. Puzzles are pretty cheap.
7. Money. Help them start a business. The kids can solicit neighbors for a summer pet-sitting or pet-washing service. They can wash cars or sell lemonade. They can baby-sit.
