Kids have a habit of asking what seems a simple question, but is actually so unique you don’t know how to answer it.

This is what happened to Joe Randazzo, when his four-year-old asked him whether the sun would melt a ghost.

Rather than tackling the question alone, he turned to his followers on Twitter to see whether someone else could come up with a good enough answer.

What Randazzo probably didn’t expect was being inundated with tweets and thousands of replies to his child’s innocent question.

And the answers seemed to make things a little bit complicated.

There were the adorable answers:

The random ones:

And the seriously complex ones:

So all in all, we’re not entirely sure if the sun could melt a ghost...

What To Do With Your Best Family Travel Photos

Make them art(01 of08)

Who doesn't love a bit of a craft session with the kids? Get inspired with Haeley from Design Improvised's DIY photo art tutorial and lend a little embellishment to your photo prints. A great way to add a pop of colour and some texture to black-and-white photographs, this also might just be the perfect rainy-day activity. Scissors (and glue, and coloured paper) at the ready. Glitter optional. (credit:Design Improvised)

Turn them into something practical(02 of08)

Your gorgeous kids' faces aren't just for bragging rights anymore. Why not use them to keep your coffee table from getting trashed? Instagram-style photo coasters are a great way to display the funny and silly pictures you might not deem frame-worthy. They're also practical and work as great gifts for loved ones. Plus, you can make them yourself - just follow the instructions on Honest & Truly's blog to become a DIYer extraordinaire. (credit:Honest and Truly)

Use them to plan more adventures(03 of08)

The world map poster is a fail-safe design piece in any home (and any room of the house, for that matter), sure to inspire even more wanderlust among family members. Instead of marking places you've visited with push pins alone - so meh! - why not add in photos of your brood in travel mode to personalise your map and showcase some of your favourite holiday spots? Currently, Kelsie shows us how it's done (using a map of the U.S.A.). (credit:Currently, Kelsie)

Display them in unexpected places(04 of08)

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and given how much time we spend in front of our refrigerator, we won't dispute the point. The kitchen is also a prime display space for your photos. Turning holiday snaps into fridge magnets is a genius way to get a smile on everyone's face at mealtimes and to showcase a wide variety of people and places. Bonus: that pic of your little one on the slopes at half-term can now help keep those school letters from getting lost. This step-by-step tutorial from Crafts by Amanda shows us how it's done.

Wear them(05 of08)

Your most cherished photos don't need to be confined to the four walls of your home: transform them into something wearable to create even more precious mementos. This tutorial from Ginger Snap Crafts directs you to the tools needed and provides simple instructions for how to make your own photo pendants. Gives new meaning to the phrase wearing your heart on your sleeve... (credit:Ginger Snap Crafts)

Frame them in an interesting way(06 of08)

If you've got one or two special photos you want to display, adding a playful and stylish border can transform a plain Ikea frame into an eye-catching statement piece. Follow the tutorial on Mod Podge Rocks to make this DIY map craft photo frame, which sets your travel photos against a map backdrop of the place you visited. Perfect for helping sleep-deprived parents remember where their travel photos are actually from...

Hello Lidy offers an alternative tutorial featuring a single photo. (credit:Mod Podge Rocks)

Make a scrapbook(07 of08)

As any parent knows, there is nothing kids love more than flipping through books starring themselves. Putting together a scrapbook of your family travel adventures is a fun activity which creates a go-to memento that the kids will pick up again and again. It's also a great way to preserve all of the tickets, postcards and "treasures" the kids have collected along the way (all hundreds of them). The Life of Angela shows us how it's done with a Peru adventure that she organised by city and location. (credit:The Life of Angela)

Create a travel album(08 of08)

This travel album from Saturday Morning Vintage shows another way to put together your photos into a keepsake book, with the trip organised in chronological order and pictures collaged together to save on space. (credit:Saturday Morning Vintage)
