What Do You Do With An Idea Worksheet

Ya’ll, there is one thing I love more than anything in my life…finding a great children’s book. I love it. I love finding one with meaning and one that makes my kids think. One with great illustrations and one with a great design. Have you heard of the book, “What Do You Do With An Idea?”  Let me tell you right now…you will love it. It’s great for all ages, but especially when your kiddos really start using their imagination. And it may just inspire you too!

My Ideas Worksheet

The book starts out with a little boy having an idea…

Nurturing it and watching it grow…

My Ideas Worksheet. yes!

 

BUT how many times a day do you hear, “Mom, I have an idea….” I don’t know about you, but it is used a TON in my house, but after reading this book to my kids, we decided we wanted to do something about it. Enter a worksheet that might change your (and/or their lives):

Today my daughter had an idea. She wanted to have a baking day. I told her to take a sheet, and let me know what she wanted to make and she wasted no time getting that idea across:

So we giggled and melted marshmallows, added lots of food coloring and squished the rice krispies into the pan just right. And simply added chocolate chips to finish them off.

 

My Ideas Worksheet. yum!

And lastly, we pushed those straws in to make them a watermelon pop, just like she wanted.

My Ideas Worksheet. how fun is this activity!

Not only was it a great afternoon of making memories, but more importantly, she wrote an idea down, figured it out and we got to work.
