I thought I would follow up my introductory posting with another post sharing my first idea. I am huge on giving the gift of an experience (for anyone at any age, actually). For a child, there is nothing that feels better than introducing them to something new especially if it turns out to be something they really enjoy and continue learning and doing.
There are lots of lessons that are in a reasonable price range. Sometimes it can be a one-time lesson, or a series of lessons that span over weeks. Some ideas include:
- Skiing at Cypress
- Art classes at 4 Cat Studios or Arts Umbrella
- Swimming lessons through your local community centre
- Dance lessons at a local dance school
- Tennis camp in the summer
- Skating lessons through your local community centre
And to step it up even one more notch, you can spend quality time with the child by taking them to the lesson!
Hi! These ideas are all great! Also for art classes, don't forget Collage Collage on Kingsway and Fraser. Erin is the owner and a friend of my sister Lyndsay and is so great with the kids and getting interested in art! http://collagecollage.ca/the-workshops-learn-play
