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 weeks linked up posts were great as usual. I loved the interview of a 5yr old via Coming from Carsonsmummy. There was a wonderful post form a Country kid herself via Wild family fun and a very good interesting post on thoughtful play via The dc project.
I am starting a weekly series of themed activity prompts. Every monday I will be posting a theme for the week. I will provide some ideas for play and activities within that theme. I hope this will give you all some inspiration, as it can often be hard to think up new ideas every week. Please take a look here at this weeks theme, get some ideas, and hopefully join me in having a musical week.
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 and comment 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 from my sidebar if possible.
