Let kids be kids linky 3/6/14

 

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!

There were some lovely posts linked up last week. I enjoyed reading this post by Ellie Bear Babi about creating childhood traditions from her own childhood memories. Mummy M’s memories post about Willies on the beach made me smile….the innocence of a 2 yr old! I also loved this post from Wild family fun about Forest school adventures.

We really enjoyed our fairy and wizard themed week last week, especially the making fairy soup and wizardry potions. This week is MONSTER week, take a look for some great ideas.

I wanted to let you all know there is a great competition running this week for a chance to win a break at Center Parcs. Please take a look here, anyone can enter and it’s very easy, all you have to do is post a photo!

There’s not many rules, just link up your posts (screen free), 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 children 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 and comment on as many as you can to give each other encouragement and support, 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 if possible from my sidebar.
