magical fun for kids.

purplecupcake by purplecupcake Standing(October 2008) (rank 500+)

just a few fun things to do with your kids, no matter what religion path you walk just adapt it, this is all about having fun with your kids and conecting with nature.

PCC

Bubblemagic: Have you ever blown bubbles when you were a child? 

First go out into nature, on a hill, in a field etc on a windy day if possible. Tell your child to make a wish and blow the bubbles. When they blow the bubbles their wishes are put inside the bubbles and carried up to the Gods where the bubbles pop who will see their wishes and grant them.  If they say a little prayer before the bubbles are blown to ensure a safe journey of the bubbles to the Gods then that will help them do begining invocations.

Kite Magic: Hand make a kite with your child(ren) doing most of the work. On the kite write messages of what they want, wishes. The message can be anything they want the gods(desses) to hear. It can have a poem written on it, or a request . The thought being that the higher the kite goes it gets closer to the realm of the Gods and they can read it easier. If the kite string ever breaks and the kite is lost maybe the Gods have decided to keep the kite? Don't lie to them but let their imagination decide what happened to the kite. If you lie to them they'll never believe you again or will have doubts about what you say in the future

Balloon Magic: Write on a piece of paper your wishes, a song, poem or whatever you want the Gods(desses) to see. Roll up the paper and insert it into a balloon. Inflate the balloon with helium and let it fly. A good variation to this would be to put a handful of birdseed inside the balloon so that when it pops the seed will feed the  the birds. You could tie a ribbon onto the balloon with your message tied to the other end. If you put too much seed inside the balloon it will not fly but just drift close to the ground.

Water Magic: Work together to make a boat made of wood or out of scraps of wood. Fill the boat with fish food and a leaf that your kid has written his/her wishes onto. Before your child sends the boat into the water have them say a prayer of what they wish and that in exchange for granting their wish they have fed the fish.

Old Vitamins: If you have any old outdated vitamins ready to be tossed into the trash there is another way to get rid of them that will be most useful. Have your child(ren) plant a fruit tree of their choosing. After they dig the hole have them crush up, or maybe you can, the old vitamins and mix them in the dirt.  Now put the tree into the hole and fill in the hole with the rest of the dirt. That tree shall be their total responsibility from this time on. Tell them the tree is a living being and they should talk to it, as it understands what they say.

Home For the Faeryfolk: If you have access to a forest this one is cool. Go out to the forest and assist you child(ren) in building a home for the faeryfolk there. Don't use two-by-fours but branches instead. Make it as elaborate as you wish. Tell your children that sometimes the faeryfolk take on the form of animals and will move into the home you've built for them. To lure them into the home put a variety of fruits and vegitables inside and a note to them stating that you've built this home for them and if they wish they can grant you your wishes. When the winter snows start piling up they will be very happy you've built them a home and stocked it with food. They may feel grateful enough to grant you your wishes.

Re: magical fun for kids.

great suggestions. Though I am a little iffy on the use of old vitamins. I teach my kids not to touch any medicines and that only mommy and daddy can touch them for safety reasons. I was thinking of perhaps suggesting limiting the age on this and use it for older kids only.
