Let kids be kids linky 21/1/14
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 so much technology and stresses round every corner, we often need to be reminded to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).
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!
Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in a ‘screen free day’ on Sunday. I hope you all had a fab day. Personally, we found it quite refreshing to get back to basics for a day. I would love to know how you all got on. Please link up your screen free posts to a link I will add tomorrow (Wed 22nd Jan), so we can all learn from each others experiences, good and bad.
Secondly, thank you everyone who linked up last week, there were some lovely posts, as always. Princess and the Grapie had some lovely birthday traditions. Becoming a stay at home mum had the great idea for finger painting in the bath (mess contained!). If we ever get any snow here, My nearest and dearest have some lovely ideas for snow painting.
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.
Hi, I have only just found your blog and think your ideas are brilliant. I’m at a struggle with the amount of technology that is part of childhood and as a parent and an outdoor pursuit worker my aim is to get children back to being children. More outdoor play and more hands on experiences with play. Cant wait to go through posts and join in with your blog.
Thank you, it’s a passion that I want my children to experience a fun basic childhood.
