“Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the mountains and the stars up above. Let them look at the beauty of the waters and the trees and flowers on earth. They will then begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education.”
– David Polis
We experienced many things this week: sunny days, rain drops in puddles, rosy cheeks, the ocean, no coat weather, winter coat weather, mud, sand, rocks, leaves and more! During our outdoor playgroup marathon this week for Make Every Day a Play Day (a meetup every day!) we had 55 people participate and many came out to play multiple times. We had a lot of fun outside together. Scheduling time to go outside with other people is a great motivator and it’s nice to have company.
What we did this week:
Monday- played at the playground until past dark, pretending to be pirates and doing a lot of swinging
Tuesday- played amongst pretend houses and in the sand, transporting, digging and sculpting
Wednesday- geared up for a rainy, rainy walk at a park by the ocean, playing hide and go seek and splashing in puddles
Thursday- rainy, muddy backyard play in the garden, working together to dig, experiment and just get messy
Let’s keep up the momentum and continue to get outside for our weekly meetups and beyond. Keep the “Make Every Day a Play Day” challenge going into the weekend and get your family outside. You know you’ll hear about our weekend adventures, come tell us about yours.
This morning we rode bikes and scooters around Esker Park with friends- some we hadn’t seen in a long time and we are glad they could make it out!
Yes. lets keep it up. Viva la play.
But, I’m happy playweek is over it is hard work keeping track of all the blog post(-: Here at AKC and then it all the other blog post. But, it was fun, thank you for playing along !
Yes, we enjoyed the company and the motivation to get out, the only downside for us was that having another exact time in the day where we had to be somewhere was a little tough sometimes, but it was only for the week so it was well worth it! We had fun 🙂
