How to Teach Your Children Creativity

1. Find an activity that's way above your childrens' ability levels.

2. Choose materials that they'd rather eat than use for any other purpose. While we're at it, throw in a few sharp, pointy items that they can drop on the floor to cause a walking hazard.


3. Set up the materials.

4. Ignore the children eating the materials faster than you can tell them what to do.

5. Make a beautiful 3-dimensional house as an example.

6. Sit back and laugh as they tear the house apart and eat all the marshmallows off of it the second you set it down.


7. Smile gratefully at Porter who realizes there's something he should be doing and sticks the marshmallows with a toothpick before he sticks them in his mouth.

8. Admit defeat. Eat some marshmallows.
