Let kids be kids linky 25/2/14
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!
Last week being half term we have been busy. We went on a wet walk/adventure (post to follow). We have visited lots of friends and grandparents, as well as playing lots of Fishy races….Fun for all the family! It has been a good half term with lots of free play.
Lots of lovely posts linked up last week. I would encourage everyone to take a browse through some posts, it’s a fantastic source of inspiration and ideas, especially to help keep us all going, through these winter months and the horrible wet weather. There was an interesting discussion of feminism or realism? at Musings of a 21st century SAHM. I liked the two lovely nature tables from Mommy loves trees and Rain or shine mamma and there was a fantastic idea for keeping first art work at The Reading Residence.
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.
