Considering the rest of the posts this week have been on outside activities I figured today should be about the park. Fortunate for us we live in an area with several parks around us. Having just moved though I had no idea where they actually were. A friend took us walking yesterday to investigate our area and to find parks.
Activity- Playing at the park, going down the slides, the monkey bars (they need help with this one), swinging with them, playing in the sand (if you have it), and just climbing the jungle gyms. There is a lot to learn at the park but because you are going to make several trips this year, take your time explaining things to them. (Like how they will fall if they aren’t careful on the equipment)
Craft– Sand art. You can do this at home. All you need is sand and food coloring to make the sand different colors. You can find neat little bottles to let them fill at the dollar store or Walmart. Let them choose their colors and they can learn the colors at the same time.
