Problem: Article: If you live in a rural or suburban area with a yard, host a weekend campout! Invite neighbor children over, pitch a tent, and provide some fun games and activities such as sing-alongs, stargazing, and story time. The National Wildlife Federation sponsors an annual "Great American Backyard Campout" that includes public campout events. If you live in an urban area or don't have a backyard, joining one of these events could be a good option. Get your children involved in planting and maintaining the plants as they grow. There are many websites that offer suggestions for kid-friendly gardens. You can even build fun projects such as a "bean teepee" (bean vines grown up long poles tied together) that your kids can use as an outdoor play space. If you don't have a lot of outdoor space, you can still have a garden area! Try making a fairy garden, or planting a planter box with herbs such as rosemary and thyme that are easy to grow (and you can use them in meals!). If you have a little more space, you can grow a container garden. You can make a bean fort or bean teepee, or you can give your kids the raw materials to make their own forts. All you need are some old sheets, some long branches, and maybe some cardboard. Let your kids use their imagination to build a fun play space! " There are many places online to find scavenger hunt lists, or you can make your own. Having a challenge will keep your kids occupied and give them a sense of accomplishment when they've finished the quest. This will work for kids who live in the city as well as those in rural or suburban areas! If your children like collecting stuff, send them outside with a bucket or basket to find items for fun craft projects. Seeds, pine cones, rocks, flowers, and leaves can all be made into fun crafts and gifts. In the summer time, turn on the garden hose, add some buckets and squirt toys, and let your kids go wild! Squirting some soapy water on a tarp will give your kids a homemade slip 'n slide for hours of fun. Give your child an inexpensive camera (either film or digital) and encourage them to explore the outdoors and take pictures of what they see. This will help them get more involved with and curious about their environment, and there are many kid-friendly cameras available for under $100. Toys like jump ropes, soccer and basketballs, and sidewalk chalk simply don't work indoors. They may tempt even reluctant children into heading outside. Chores such as raking leaves and shoveling snow may not immediately appeal to kids, but teaching them to see the chore as producing a reward -- like a big pile of leaves to jump in or the makings of a great snowman -- will encourage them to be active and responsible.
Summary: Host a backyard campout. Plant a garden. Build a fort. Institute a "nature scavenger hunt. Get crafty. Create a waterpark. Buy a cheap camera. Provide toys that have to be used outdoors. Convert chores to fun.

Problem: Article: Small cardstock boxes make ideal decorative boxes for chocolates. They keep the chocolates cool to prevent heat from melting them. You can fold one yourself or purchase a small paper gift box from most craft stores. Measure your chocolates beforehand to make sure you choose or fold a box large enough for them. You can also use a metal canister as an alternative, but metal is more likely to attract heat. Before adding any tissue papers or decorations to the box, put the chocolates inside to make sure they fit. If you're packing individual chocolates, place them on a candy cup to prevent them from touching any decorations. After you place the chocolates in the box, pad it with tissue paper. This prevents the chocolate from breaking as you handle the box and helps to keep it cool. Although you can use bubble wrap to keep the chocolates cool and intact, tissue paper is much more decorative. Try finding tissue paper in bold colors or patterns to help it make a celebratory statement. You can also wrap tissue paper around the bottom and top of the box for an extra flair. This can make the container look more ornate, especially if you're gifting your chocolates to someone else. Cut the decorative paper to fit the sides of your container and use craft glue or a glue stick to secure it in place. You can use art paper, construction paper, wrapping paper, wallpaper samples, or even newspaper to decorate your container. If your box is a solid color, use a decorative stamp or sticker to give it color. Use between 1-3 types of stamps or stickers at most, as too much decoration can overwhelm the box's style. Avoid using both stamps and stickers to avoid oversaturating the box with decoration. You can also glue buttons or beads to the box for a more unique design. In a pinch, colored office supply stickers can function as a simple decoration. You can purchase colored sticker dots from most office supply stores. Ribbons can give your container a decorative flair. Tie the ribbon on top of or around the container, or tie the ribbon into a bow and glue it to the top or side. Curl the ribbons with scissors to make them look especially ornamental.
Summary: Make or find a cardstock gift box for your chocolates. Place the chocolates into the box. Stuff the container with tissue paper. Wrap your container in decorative paper. Decorate the box with stamps or stickers. Tie a ribbon to your container.

Problem: Article: In some ways, this aspect of writing fiction is not so different from nonfiction, because you're still telling a story in nonfiction. In both places, you are building tension throughout the story by releasing information little by little, until you reach the climax. However, in fiction, it's all about the story, whereas in nonfiction, the story may be secondary to other essential information. Whether you are writing a short story or a novel, having a plan will help you get started. Outline how characters meet and what happens to move the plot along. Outlining your fiction will help you make sure your work continues moving at a steady pace. What will be the crux of the story? What is its central point? You will be moving towards the climax throughout your whole story, so make sure it is well developed. A climax could be a sudden realization, a couple coming together, a car crash, a death, etc. Make sure your climax flows naturally with the story. Although the climax should conclude a period of suspense, it should not come out of nowhere. Though it depends on the writer, many writers feel the story does better if they have a general idea of where it will go, but leave some things open ended. That way, you'll make discoveries along the way. If you are surprised, then your reader will be, too. The setting is important, but if you use focus too much on the setting, your readers will skip over it to get to the plot. In all fiction writing, the plot is the backbone of the piece. Without a well-developed plot taking center stage, fiction loses its sense of purpose and drive.
Summary:
Focus on the plot. Outline your story. Decide on what your climax will be. Don't over plan to avoid predictability. Home in on the plot.
