Maybe cooking could be possibility if it was jazzed up in some way -
creating recipies for aliens, or current favorite characters
or
study geography and international recipies
or
science and nutrition through cooking
or
politics/economics, what does the averate family of 4 live on, how much is for food, what kinds of recipes are possible on that budget.
or
writing a cookbook for kids.
Just some thoughts - by the time my son was 10, he was mostly into Magic Cards and computer games, so he and I got time together on those long car rides out to comic book stores to drop him off or pick him up for Magic Card events, or when new video games were released we'd make up elaborate ways for him to 'earn' hours of how much sleep I was willing to give up to drive him to EB Games at Midnight so that he could get the game and advance in it before his friends, which apparently was the most enjoyable part of the whole experience for him.
So it really was less of 'Mom and Son' experiences and more 'Hanging out while Mom drives' experiences.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
