Give family communication a whole new twist with a Family Newsletter.  Fun, educational and more importantly a great way to keep families connected.

Narelle Greenhalgh, WA
We love teaching our kids that imagination is the key, like making a cubbyhouse from the trees - not plastic bought from the shops.

Cathy Bowdler, QLD
Treasure hunts for the kids. We write clues leading to more clues, and eventually a prize on our farm. This means great adventures outside!

Elastics - good for co-ordination, cheap, fun, and gets the heart rate and giggles going!

Create a 'craft party' - get the family together with some nibblies, and start making some Christmas decorations.

Sophie Wright, VIC
We love walking around our streets and collecting 'treasures' like leaves and flowers, then creating artworks on cardboard. A fun activity that can last hours.
