You wouldn't think music practice would be very exciting, but my kids have found ways to liven things up a bit.
Daniel (seated on a couple couch cushions, 'cuz who has phone books these days?) got tired of plinking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," and decided to teach himself a two-handed song called "Musette" from the end of the beginner book. I'm actually amazed at how well he's playing it.
Joy wasn't content to do simple bow-holding exercises . . .
. . . so she added "Dragon Slash" bow exercises, which involve lunging across the room like a samurai in battle. As long as she's flexing her pinkie, I'm sure a dozen Dragon Slashes are a perfectly acceptable way to work her viola-playing muscles.
