Pokemon Crafts and Activities For The Whole Family

We may not understand their Pokemon obession, but we can still score major cool-mom-points with Pokemon crafts and activites.

I often find myself staring at my kids with a strange look, thinking “who are these creatures and why do they keep referring to me as “mom” because clearly we cannot be related!” (Then I take a step back, and realize that they ARE my little clones, just forty years younger.)

Our oldest son discovered Pokemon a few years ago, and since then it has been “down-hill.” Our otherwise LEGO-covered floors are now also scattered with Pokemon cards. (If you aren’t stepping on a LEGO brick, you are slipping on a Pokemon card – consider yourself warned!)

But WOW, with two “big boys” in the house, and two smaller ones who adore their older brothers, it is impossible for things not to take off and become household obsessions – and that’s exactly what has happened with Pokemon!

We have Pokemon cards everywhere, Pokemon GO is loaded on every device and lately, we have done Pokemon-related crafts at every given chance.

When I was a kid, my obsessions looked a little different, but they still became all-consuming. I don’t want to rob my kids of the experience to have a hobby, collect little trinkets and become an “expert” in something they think is cool. So Pokemon it is!

These crafts and activities have been tested and tried by our family – with raging success. I am sure your kids will love them too – and you may discover a new way to embrace their (odd) Pokemon obsession. If nothing else, it is fun family quality time.

The “Parents Guide to Pokemon” is a perfect place for you to learn about the Pokemon Card Game. You will be surprised at the valuable skills your kid develops from playing Pokemon The Card Game and collecting Pokemon cards.

(I was on the fence in the beginning, but the more I learned, the more I encourage our kids’ Pokemon obsession!)
