How to Keep Kids Busy With Paper Bags

Sure, back in our day, we just grabbed some paper bags and amused ourselves using our imaginations, but we all know that kids today have stunted imaginations thanks to video games and the fact that the world is too dangerous to just let them go roam around in packs anymore. No matter! You can pick up What Can You Do with a Paper Bag? ($12.44 at Amazon) and let the fun begin. It's from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so not only are the creations stunning, you end up with a great history lesson along with each project. (Perseus' winged helmet, anyone?)

Yeah, it's not winter yet, but just in case you like to plan way in advance, these felt gingerbread houses from Twinkle Kids are sweet. Assemble em with the kids and avoid ant or sugar-hangover issues. They are 100 percent wool felt, $55, and come with 100 candy decorations that just stick to the house like magic.
