This is the one time that we’re going to say that it’s OK to let your kids play with some food! There are few craft materials as accessible and fun as dry pasta.
Although many of our favorite warm-weather activities are canceled this year, we’re making a point to keep our summer fun-filled! And what’s more fun and magical than flying a kite?
As parents, we’re always hoping to encourage creativity (which tends to get messy), while keeping things manageable for ourselves and our sanity. Because, yes, a dried pasta noodle party in the kitchen would result in cute, strung necklaces and a lot of great fine motor practice. But, it would be a huge mess that we don’t have time/want to clean up!
With many of us being stuck indoors because of the COVID-19 epidemic, getting some fresh air is even more critical. Scavenger hunts are a great way to enjoy some outdoor play while abiding by the social distancing precautions that we’re all trying to follow.
We've put together a few different ideas for scavenger hunts to do with your kids for no matter where you live.
