I found this idea on the Family Fun Web site. It is a Wish List for 2008 for kids to do. I put five different headings on a piece of paper and then numbered 1-4 under each. My headings were Places I Want To Go, Books I Want to Read, Movies I Want to Watch, Foods I Want to Try, and Things I Want to Learn to Do. I did this with my 8 year old, 6 years old and 4 year old. It turned out to be a real interesting project.
Some of Cody's answers were: Places To GO- Fishing, Books To Read- Sharks and Bats, Movies to Watch- Batman, Under dog and Super Babies . Foods to Try- Indian Slap Jacks and he Wants to Learn to cook.
Caity's- Places to Go- Mall, Park, Fishing and the Movies, Books To Read- Dogs, Cats and Fish. Foods to Try-Peanut cookies, tomatoes and Tomato Cake. And things she wants to learn about- Books, Bionicles, crafts(of course), and Jesus and God.
Colton's list- Books to Read- Batman and Underdog. Things he wanted to Learn was to Read and add numbers, Foods to try- Tomatoes.
I really would recommend this idea, it was fun and it gave me some ideas on what to do for this upcoming year. I definitely will let them do more cooking and have my husband take them fishing even more. And I also know what books to get at the library.
I hope you try it, if you do let me know some of the answers.

Good idea. I'm going to have to give this a try tomorrow. Thanks!
What a great idea! It will really help me keep track of what they would like not what I think they would like.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this idea! I just hope I don't forget it by the time my baby is old enough to have a wish list. Could you remind me in about 2 or 3 years? hehehehe
Oh and thank you for putting me on your sidebar! I just noticed! How sweet of you!

This is a really good idea! I need to try it with my kids.
Very good idea. I may do this. Madison would be the only one to do it...Miller is only 2. But she would enjoy it and it would give me some ideas.
Clever idea. Thanks for sharing.
This is very cool - I can see how it would help with getting kids motivated too - to do new things, read new books ... great idea. See you soon. Kellan
I love this idea!! I might have to use it and post it on my blog!
Wow I love it. Any time you can teach kids how to be goal-oriented and try new things, it's great! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a cool idea! Thank you for sharing! I will have to try this with my son- thank you so much!
I think you're right. That is just a great idea.

I just found it and think this is so nice! I will try this today with my 3year old. Don't know whether she will give any meaningful answers ... but I'll give it a shot. Sounds really nice to do this every year and look back at what they wished for ...
Thanks for the nice idea,
Miss Muffin
