\"Recycling\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I bet you are all really glad that its school holidays again \u2013 especially now that its winter and is cold in the mornings. But after a few days of sleeping in those odd few twinges of boredom start to set in.<\/p>\n

I mean we can only watch so much television, play so many computer games and even after a while I even want a break from reading books too.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great if you money is no object \u2013 then there are lots of things to do. Like going to the movies, shows, amusement parks, on holiday and other fun stuff. Or one could visit a science centre like Sci-Bono <\/a>Discovery Centre in Newtown. It\u2019s not so expensive and they have some very cool things going on for the holidays.<\/p>\n

But many of us are a tad financially challenged and that\u2019s when we have to make a plan.<\/p>\n

Firstly remember that if you\u2019re feeling cold and a bit in the doldrums \u2013 get some exercise. Any kind of exercise. Grab a friend or even better \u2013 a couple of friends and go for a nice brisk walk. Or a run. Or a bike ride. Or hula hoop.\u00a0 Do somersaults and handstands in the garden or the park. Go crazy.<\/p>\n

Exercise boosts creativity \u2013 so when you\u2019ve finished it\u2019s time to get creative.\u00a0 You can make amazing things with junk. Using fishing line (which does not cost that much and you get an awful lot of it on one reel) you can string up all sorts of things like bottle tops, corks, buttons, old beads and bits of plastic. These days\u2019 plastic bottles come in all sorts of colours too.\u00a0 You can also paint the stuff you string up. One string might look a bit odd \u2013 but if you make lots of strings you could make a hanging doorway for your room or even a secret nook in the garden.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about fabric painting. If a bunch of you each buy one pot of fabric paint and share \u2013 then you\u2019ll have lots of colours. You can brighten up old t-shirts or even paint flowers or patterns on your sheets. Make sure you get your parental agent\u2019s permission first though.<\/p>\n

If you have access to the website \u2013 there is a fabulous site to visit to find things to make Toys from Trash<\/a>. \u00a0Arvind Gupta is a friend of Ginny\u2019s and lives in India.<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays.<\/p>\n
