Muchas gracias Aubrey, me encantan todas tus sugerencias y aunque mis hijos ya son mayores creo que no hay edad para jugar con la creatividad. De pequeña no podía estar sin hacer alguna manualidad o pintando algo.
Lo pasaré a mis amigas con hijos más pequeños y que ahora no pueden salir a jugar al parque.
