Places to Go With Children
Whether you’re in charge of a group of children or you’re heading out with your own, you want to go places that entertain both you and the kids. Visiting an assortment of places with children isn’t just fun. It teaches them how to conduct themselves in different situations, helps them learn about their environment and, perhaps most importantly, creates enduring memories for them. And a bonus: There’s nothing like watching children have new experiences to help reawaken your own wonder about the world. The three rules to follow no matter where you go are to stay safe, to have fun, and to bring along games if you’re going to be in the car longer than 30 minutes.

Fun Things to Do With Children in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is an ideal place to vacation with children, because the weather is often pleasant and there are a million places–both natural and man-made–to visit. The only downside is traffic, and it is almost guaranteed that you will need to spend a good amount of time driving to get from sight to sight. Plan accordingly by visiting sights by neighborhood and avoiding driving during rush hour. Rather than pop back to the hotel at 3pm, take a lemonade break at shady cafe or go into a neighborhood library or bookstore for a spell. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and to stay hydrated while exploring this fascinating city.
Painting Ideas for Children
Painting is one of those childhood activities that allows children to be creative and messy without worry. Beyond just colors and shapes, painting encourages children to use the right sides of their brains. The left side of the brain controls logic, linear thought and analysis and the right side of the brain is where spatial relations, creativity and a focus on the bigger picture take place. Encouraging children to paint not only increases their creative abilities, it also sets them up for a future where, according to some thinkers and writers, including Daniel Pink, the right side of the brain is becoming increasingly important in the workplace and in the world.
