Make it fun for the little ones and put your PJ's on early. Cook dinner together. Bake cookies. Make hand turkeys to celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Get out the board games. Curl up on the couch together and watch a movie. The point of this event is to spend some quality time together and have fun doing it. Take pictures and turn off your phones and computers for a few hours and give your full attention to each other. It can do wonders for strengthening your family bond to give each other a little uninterrupted attention.
Just in case you are wondering what a hand turkey is, trace your hand onto a piece of paper and cut it out. Cut colorful feathers from construction paper and glue onto the fingers. Add a beak and an eye to the thumb and voila - instant hand turkey. No construction paper? Trace it on plain paper and color the hand with crayons. Get creative and make your own variation of the hand turkey. And please share your creations or your family activities with me here or on twitter @kidsworklife. I'd love to see your great ideas!
Have fun with your family and enjoy your National Family Pajama Night!
