Most kids I know are into Face Book and the computer, TV, and video games, not any different than my kids. Our daughter Amanda is 11 years old, she often brings two or three friends home after school. There are very creative and are always looking for new and fun ways of expressing themselves. I have a cricut create die cutting machine, and Amanda uses it for school projects.
Before we got the cricut our kids were really stuck on their electronic devices. They would come home after school and right away they would start playing the WII game or go on their computer or pull out their ipod. They did not have an outlet to express their creativity fully

Once we purchased the cricut we found that there focus shifted towards more creative activities. Amanda is now really proud of herself when she is able to create wonderful projects that she can present at school. Now some of her friends want to come over to use the Cricut. They really get a sense of accomplishment by creating some unique and individual crafts.
We now have more of a balance of creative activities for our kids. They have fun using their imagination to create gifts and cards for there friends and family. It's an outlet for creativity that's brings the family together, just like the old days. It's wonderful to see our children creating happily, instead of being programmed by TV and computers? Let have fun with this and get creative!
