Playtime doesn't need a craft bin, a board game, or a big block of free time. Here are five quick, setup-free games that bring two minutes of silliness into your week.

You can't keep kids happy all the time, and you don't have to. Try wonder on a gray day: simple things to notice, plus stories to share.

Most weeks don't leave a lot of room to slow down, and that's okay. Here are some simple ways to find a little wonder in the time you actually have.

Give your kid a jar and one job for the walk: notice something. A leaf. A stone. Whatever they bring home goes in the jar, a small collection of the kind of day nobody remembers except for what ends up sitting on the windowsill.

Nature is wonderful! It's big. It's filled with every color imaginable. It can be exciting and scary, awesome and intense — all at once...

Inspiring wonder is easy to do with natural materials. Nature has away of being mysterious and inspiring us to explore whole new worlds. Try four of our favorite nature crafts that will get you outside and wondering about the world around you in new ways.

This playlist is filled with stories that will hopefully inspire connection, creativity, and a lot of happiness too.
