One summer I sat down with a half-sheet of poster board and a package of colorful markers. At the top of the poster, in big letters: "Things to Do." Then I wrote a list of ideas, each in a different color, scattered around the poster at different angles for visual interest...
- Blow bubbles.
- Read a book.
- Take the easel outside and paint.
- Draw a comic strip.
- Race around the house.
- Brush the dog.
- Make cookies.
- Eat a freezer pop.
- Organize the bookshelves.
- Write a letter to Grandma.
- ...As many things as I could think of, until the poster was full.
