Welcome to March!\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but I’m thrilled to be one month closer to Spring.\u00a0 Here’s a few ways to celebrate with the kiddos this week…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go for a one-on-one walk at sunrise or sunset and just sit and watch the view and talk.\u00a0 Try to find a great lookout spot like a hilltop or roof.\u00a0 Bring a treat to munch as you go.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Repurpose a kitchen gadget for an art tool or a play prop.\u00a0 For instance, let the kids use that salad spinner<\/a> you\u00a0 never use for paint crafts or the garlic press with playdough.\u00a0 Raid your stash of neglected tools and find some neat stuff to play with.\u00a0 \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Have a Seuss-inspired day<\/a> in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday Tuesday.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Just in time for March, take part in the 100-Books-a-Month-Challenge<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Have a “dress like a rock star day” and have everybody wear their best rock star outfits, hairstyles and attitudes for lunch or supper.\u00a0 Parents too!<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Mail your children cards in the mail, just because.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Put a Blogging Without Obligation button<\/a> on your blog and take time off to play with the kids. <\/span> xxxxxxxx <\/span> \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Start a daily art or photography challenge with the kids.\u00a0 Each day or week, pick a theme (blue, wet, many…) and try to snap photos that represent that word or create a piece of art or a poem that represents it.\u00a0 Start a family Flickr page or blog to document your creations.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Write a list of 50 things you love about your child and hide it somewhere to be discovered later.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Buy or make small treats for the kids and lead them on a scavenger hunt to find them.\u00a0 Leave a different first clue for each child that lead to separate prizes at the end.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Got any fun plans with the kiddos?\u00a0 Done anything fun lately?\u00a0 Let us know in the comments!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Have a magical week!
