I know I was exhausted for much of it, but children themselves are so naturally creative that if you let yourself play and create along with them, it's wonderful. My seventeen-year-old daughter and I were reminiscing over all the fun projects we've done together and all the MESS we made. Making a mess is key. And giving kids really good art supplies (the best you can afford) matters to them. My daughter remembers being able to use "real" brushes and nice paints and papers and how that made her feel like her creations were truly valued and respected. <abbr><em>Lisa (@hitthosekeys)´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.hitthosekeys.net/wildkeys/2008/marlanes-book-patch" rel="nofollow">Marlane’s Book Patch</a></abbr></em> Those years when my children were small were so dense, so intricate.

See the world through their eyes. You’ll discover the beauty of bread crumbs." Hiro, this is beautiful advice. All of it. Delicious. When I look back on the time when my children were small, my one regret is that I didn't lean into their rhythm as much as I could have. I missed out on a lot of joy that way. At the time, it seemed like struggle was inevitable but I can see now that a lot of it was optional. But I guess that's hindsight for you - late by nature! “As much as possible, flow with your kids’ rhythm and timing. See the world through their eyes. You’ll discover the beauty of bread crumbs.”

Of course, I don't have to do the hard-yards, but it seemed to me that their play was endless creativity, and challenged me to find new and ingenious ways to use paper and glitter glue to keep them both entertained. There are so many things out there that are expensive as tools of entertainment, but Milly and I had most fun colouring patterns in a simple notepad, making bookmarks out of cardboard and glitter. We even made our own Christmas decorations - inspired by her. Plasticine and playdough were great for Ollie, too. Play was just as much fun and wonderful for me as it was for them. <abbr><em>Joely Black (@TheCharmQuark on Twitter)´s last blog post..<a href="http://isabeljoelyblack.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/in-which-i-use-the-word-monetize/" rel="nofollow">In which I use the word ‘monetize’</a></abbr></em> One of the things I enjoyed most this Christmas was spending time with my niece and nephew, who are six and two respectively.
