Let kids be kids 17/12/13

Welcome to let kids be kids linky.

This is a linky all about letting kids be kids, getting back to basics and having great childhood fun. We live in such a fast paced modern world with loads of technology and stresses round every corner, we need to remember to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).

I originally set this linky up on my other website, but recently decided it needed an identity of its own, hence, this site was born and my mission to raise awareness of letting kids be kids started. Please join me in spreading the word for encouraging children to step away from the technology for a while and go out, run around, use their imaginations and just have general basic FUN!

I hope you are all having a good time and not too busy in the run up to christmas. Children get so over excited at this time of year, but I can’t blame them, I remember it being such a lovely exciting time and couldn’t wait for it to arrive. There is so much fun to be had with music, singing, crafting, present giving and baking at this time, I’m surprised I’m not over excited too! We have been making christmas lanterns, cookies and christmas cards. What have you been up to?

Thanks to everyone who linked up last week, here are just three of the great posts from last week. There was a different kind of christmas tradition going on at Snotty noses blog, there was fun at Kew Gardens via In the playroom and lots of muddy fun at Let’s .

Next week, it will be christmas eve, so I have decided not to run Let kids be kids linky on 24th Dec or 31st Dec. As this linky is all about children, families and fun, I thought we should all be spending the time with our families, I know I will. I Hope you all have lots of fun and a really good christmas. Save your posts up and link them again on 7th Jan, I look forward to hearing what you have all been up to.

There’s not many rules, just link up your posts, old or new, about genuine childhood fun (of any age). It may be fun outdoors, jumping in puddles, nature hunts, riding bikes or making mud pies. Or it may be fun indoors with arts and crafts, making dens, cooking, messy play or reading. Or how about visiting a farm or fun at a fete. Or a discussion about kids growing up too fast, etc.

Whatever basic fun you have been having or discussing, link up and share your ideas, visit others to get inspiration, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!

This linky will open every Tuesday for 6 days, so there’s plenty of time to add your posts.

Please spread the word and grab my badge from my sidebar if possible.

If you tweet me your link (@karenattwinlife), I will happily retweet.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!  :)
