Giving kids a challenge with a deadline, gives them drive and a purpose ... even if it is only for 15 minutes.

Parents, no matter the age of your kids, you often want them to put down the tablet and go play.

Give them a challenge that will spark their creativity. Some ways:

• 1-3 year olds: Grab a water bottle, toilet paper roll and sponges and tell them to build a robot.

• 4-6: Have them run outside and grab something green, blue and yellow.

• 7-10: Give them painters tape and chalk and tell them they have 30 minutes to cover the driveway.

It doesn’t take money to get their imagination going — just give them an idea and let them run with it.
