Parents’ active participation is important in enhancing their kids’ talents and developing their multi-faceted potential. Needless to say, it is crucial to start at an early age, even way before kids start school. Fortunately, despite the busy lifestyle of modern moms and dads, it is so easy to integrate various activities to do this, primarily spending quality time with the children.

It is also essential that parents encourage their kids to interact with individuals their own age, not only with their classmates but also children with many other interests. One good way of doing so is by letting them join a club like the Dunkin Donuts Favorite Kid.

he membership process is so easy. Just accompany your kid to any Dunkin Donuts Philippines branch to fill out the membership form. After a DD favorite kid staff has reviewed the information, the child’s login details will be emailed and soon enough, you child can enjoy the many benefits of the club. Even before your kid becomes a member, they can already enjoy playing online. There are games that are easily accessed by anyone like the Dress Up Your Dunkin Donuts where the children’s creativity is highlighted since it features various design elements such as colors and shapes in designing their own donuts. Aside from the fun and learning, the kids can brag about their finished donut app by sending it as an e-card to their friends.

Another game to try is Munch Your Dunkin Donuts. Now this is a great bonding moment with your kids since it is reminiscent of the classic Pacman-game. Parents can easily share the fun of the game since it is something that they’re so familiar with. The objective of the game is to eat as many munchkins as your chosen character can within the time limit of one minute. Younger kids can start with the easy level while the older ones can proceed to the hard level.

Dunkin Donuts Favorite Kid is open to kids 12 years old and below. Membership gives them the privilege to participate in the online forum thereby giving them the opportunity of interacting with kids their age. Topics are moderated so there’s nothing to worry about inappropriate topics.

This is a good way of developing their interpersonal skills as well. And come to think of it, mommies and daddies can easily monitor their kids’ progress since they’re doing these activities inside the comforts of home. And to make your kids look forward to more learning and new experiences, why not bring them their favorite donuts, muffins and brownies from the favorite pasalubong ng bayan?

Craft Ideas For Kids To Make In February

4 months ago

by kidbestbuy in Crafts & ideas

February is here and with it comes an array of holidays and fun. This wintertime, we have been hit with plenty of snow, especially up in the northeast. Getting a lot of snow days can result in parents feeling lost with what to do with the children cooped up all day. Here are several crafts projects for your kiddos and you to create together to cure the winter blues.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is approaching quickly and a handmade craft by your little kiddo is the perfect way for them to tell someone they love them. Here are a couple crafts for kids to make to celebrate those they love.

Handprint Heart Magnet (great for the younger kiddos!)

Materials: Red Washable Paint, White Card stock (preferably, or similar thick paper) or White Construction Paper, Paint Brush, Red Crayon, Sticky Back Magnet, Black Sharpie or Permanent Marker

1. Paint child’s hands with red paint, or have them dip their hands in red paint.

2. Make child’s handprints on the white paper. *NOTE: When doing the handprints, make the thumbs and index fingers meet-this forms a heart shape (upside down). It does not need to be a perfect heart shape, just make sure to tilt the hands to make this shape.

3. Allow paint to dry.

4. Put the handprints upside down and highlight the heart shape by drawing an outline of the thumb/index finger heart shape.

5. Write “Always hold on to my heart” within the heart shape or on the handprints with permanent marker

6. Cut around the handprints and stick a magnet on the back.

“Thumb”ody Love You Picture Frame

Materials: Popsicle Sticks, Wood or Hot Glue, Red Ink Pad or Red Paint, Child’s Photo, Foam Heart Stickers or Candy Hearts, Poster Board or Thick Paper.

1. Glue child’s picture on a small square piece of poster board. Please note: The photo needs to be cut down or small enough to fit within a popsicle stick frame (4 popsicle sticks making a square).

2. Have child stick foam heart stickers or candy hearts around their picture. Be sure they don’t stick them on their picture!

3. Glue 4 popsicle sticks together to make a square frame.

4. Press child’s thumb into red ink pad or paint and press onto the 2 vertical (sides) popsicle sticks. Do 5 thumb prints on both popsicle sticks each.

5. On the top (horizontal) popsicle stick, write “”Thumb”ody loves you…”. On the bottom (horizontal) popsicle stick, write “That “thumb”ody is me!”.

6. On the 4 corners of the popsicle stick frame, put heart stickers.

7. Glue popsicle stick frame onto photograph from earlier.

8. On the back of the poster board/photograph, write “Happy Valentine’s Day 2011!”

Black History Month

In school, your child will be learning about significant African Americans that made a difference in our world from Martin Luther King to George Washington Carver. Bring the learning home with these black history crafts for your kiddos!

I Have a Dream

Materials: Construction paper, Black Permanent Marker, Crayons and Coloring Tools

1. Write ” I have a dream that…” on a piece of construction paper.

2. Explain to your child what Martin Luther King meant by dream-his vision for the world. Ask your child what they want to happen in the world. This can be silly answers such as candy houses to something more serious as well.

3. Instruct your child to draw what they told you.

4. For younger kids who are just scribbling, ask the child to identify the things in the picture and label them.

Garret Morgan and the Traffic Light

Materials: Black Construction Paper, Glue, Paint Brush, Red, Yellow and Green M & Ms.

Prior to Craft: Explain who Garret Morgan was, that he invented the traffic light and why it’s important.

1. Cut out a wide rectangle on the black construction paper. (a traffic light shape)

2. Trace 3 equal circles onto the black traffic light.

3. Have child apply glue (a good amount) on the three light circles-one at a time.

4. Have the child glue red m & ms on top, yellow in the middle and green on the bottom and of course let the child snack on some m & ms too!

I hope you enjoy these fun crafts for kids. Expect more for each month of the year. Have Fun!
