ACTIVITIES!
Monday: Birdseed ornaments!
Now that we finally have some warm weather, we can start to see some of our bird neighbors coming out to build their nested homes for the warm months! Check out this link for a fun way to make a bird feeder without needing a a full wooden box!
Tuesday: A Helping Hand
With all of the changes and messages floating around in the world about how we can help our neighbors and communities, I found an online game that is designed to have the user act as a helper in a “bust hotel.” It can help your child get in the mindset of helping others and can help them understand the benefit of working together to accomplish a greater goal!
Wednesday: At Home Science Fair!
I’ve been told by a number of the kiddos I work with that they had to miss their spring science fairs when schools were closed down! Here is a 3 ingredient experiment your kids can perform without feeling like they have not been able to participate in science class!
Thursday: Balloon Tennis!
Now that we can get outside and play (safely with appropriate distancing) try making your own paper plate tennis racquets that are perfect for indoor or outdoor balloon tennis! You can also use this same design with a sturdy plate or piece of cardboard to use a real tennis ball! How many hits can you get on the balloon before the balloon touches the ground?
Friday: Ahhh summer camp….
For those if you that haver even been to sleep-away camp, you may have made these dreamcatchers before. Popsicle stick dreamcatchers are a popular craft for summer camps. When I was at camp as a child, I was told to make a wish before tying off the final knot. As long as you don’t share your wish, it is believed to come true!
Saturday: MORE SCIENCE!!
Have you ever made a tornado in a jar? Some instructions call for two 1-liter bottles taped together, to save the possible mess and time, try this one jar idea for a home made tornado jar! Here is a youtube video that can help educate your kids on what a tornado is! YOUTUBE
Sunday: unplug and relax
Today, take some time to unplug and relax. Enjoy the weather, go outside, spend time with family. Parents- you can use today as a day to focus on asking your kids about things going on with regard to the pandemic, peaceful protesting, and what to expect this summer while social distancing is still in place!
See you all next week!
