Coastline Treasures

There are so many activities a family can do together to strengthen their bond. Many times, though, it’s hard to get teenagers on board for family time. Parents need to think of creative ways to get older kids involved in activities. Many kids don’t have the patience for board games or long talks at the dinner table, but they do like arts and crafts.

Buy some basic wooden birdhouses and several festive (yet, bird friendly) decorations.  Spend a rainy Saturday afternoon decorating your new lighthouse birdhouse. Each person can make their own birdhouse. Later, on a nicer day, get the family together and set up your birdhouses in the backyard.
