Soy Candles

If you have bored teenagers at home, it’s probably a common sight to see them strewn about the couch watching television. And if you’re sick of seeing them waste away the afternoon and hearing them complain that they don’t have anything to do, consider implementing a family craft hour. Each week, you can arrange a new project that the entire family can work on, and this will get everyone out of the house and doing something a little more productive.

And don’t forget to get everyone involved. Rotate who picks the weekly project so that everyone can do something that interests them. If you need an idea to get the project kicked off, have everyone try their hand at making a wind chime. Get some cheap metal tubing and twine, and bust out the power drill. The product might not be professional or even particularly pretty, but at least the whole family will have enjoyed the time together. And no one wasted their lives on the couch!
