This year I will learn a new Hobby! I will share it with the world and my granddaughter!
If we have learned anything this year, it's that our hobbies will keep us from climbing up the walls when we can't do the things that we are used to doing. Pandemics and the need to keep ourselves isolated from harm, can do some strange things to people's psyches. Don't fall into that trap or let the isolation rule you. Learn to do something new and interesting to keep the depression/isolation at bay.
Crafting has long been a way to fill in "spare time" or do something that we enjoy. It could be knitting, crocheting, baking or a host of other activities that will keep our minds and hands busy. Photography, painting, leather crafts and paper crafts all fit that bill. You will find a host of "Hobbies" on Review This Review right here!
Today I'd like to offer another way to do that and it could be a way to connect with our children and grandchildren. Time spent together is always time well spent.
Getting ready for the holidays is another way that we connect with each other. This year though we may not be able to do quite as much of that as we would like to do. But don't despair, there are other ways of connecting that will give you just as much pleasure. You might even find in years ahead, that this was one of the best ways to connect with our loved ones.
So let's get on with it, shall we?
One of my Granddaughters this year has made a request that I really like. Not only because she asked for this, but it will let her creativity and imagination come out in something physical!
Using her hands to create something that is in her mind, will help her and us to appreciate what a crazy imagination and vision she has. There is no right or wrong with creating what is in your mind's eye. Purple Polka Dotted Cats or Dogs are acceptable! It is a place where everyone can let loose and show the rest of the world what is happening in your own personal space. So what is it that will let her do this?
Well, it's not new, although it is much improved from the last time I looked at this product, and I like it much better than Play Doh (sorry playdoh)! It allows you to create and oven dry your creation, so that it is a finished product!
