Fun with chalk

Chalk is not just for inside fun...Take it outside and PLAY!!

Remember the days of Hopscotch? Make it a longer game by drawing 20 squares instead of the usual 10.

Have  a jumping contest and see how far each person can jump from a designated spot. Use different colored chalk to make each person's distance.

Draw a series of  O's in front of the garage door or wall and play Hit the Mark

from a designated spot, each person takes turns trying to hit each O with a tennis ball

When a player misses an O, it becomes the next persons turn

Joke of the week

Q: What did the paint say to the wall?

A: I've got you covered!

Bear Tales...The Nightingale

The Nightingale
ivy o eastwick

The Nightingale
made up a tune
about the foxgloves
and the moon.

She sang it high,
she sang it low!
it was as dreamful
and as slow
as summer moon light
on the lea...

She sang it three times
round to me.

Gardening Fun!

Freddy the Frog loves to be outside and garden 

Being outside had great health benefits, such as exposure to fresh air and sunlight. Studies show that we are happier, healthier , smarter and more self disciplined when we can be outdoors.

 

Gardening is a great workout! Turn gardening into play

 

Challenge your kids to a weeding contest: Have each child pick one type o weed and start pulling on the count of three. Then see who's collected the most when the allotted time ( such as 15 min) is up

 

Happy Independence Day

A star spangled day full of Flags and Streamers!
