Before our family camping trip I decided that the boys needed a 'No Screen Day" to get ready for having no television or computer. While we don't watch tons of TV the boys do watch one or two PBS show each afternoon while I work or make dinner. This day I told them no TV and THEY had to figure it out. The hard part of this challenge was it was over 100 degrees outside and we were stuck inside. They whined a little but I told them they could do art, build something or find some toys in their room. Spiderman asked for tape and I have him some painters tape.....15 minutes later they had built themselves Spider-man Web Slingers:)
