Greetings! 

 

We are very excited that summer is here and that means spending more time outdoors and enjoying all that nature has to offer. Everyone has their favourite memories of summertime. Children get such pleasure out of the simplest things such as chasing bubbles, jumping through the sprinkler, skipping rope, making chalk art on the driveway, collecting bugs in a jar, building sand castles, or licking drippy ice cream cones. What are your fondest memories of summer? Why not share them with your children? Tell them a story about your childhood, show them photos, or do some of the activities you enjoyed as a child.  

 

Get your children into the summer spirit with these summer fun activities. With just a few minutes of planning, you can keep the children active and entertained - in fun, out-of-the-ordinary ways all summer long! Try these ideas to get the whole family moving:

 

Go for a hike. Find a trail through the woods and keep your eyes on the lookout for natural finds. Take the time to look at birds' nests, ant hills and even moss on trees. Children really get excited by nature. Other interesting things to spot: woodpecker holes in trees, or animal tracks.

 

Take a bird tour. Write down a list of birds that are common to your area and then go in search of your feathered friends at the park (bring binoculars!). To attract birds, cover pine cones with vegetable shortening and then roll them in birdseed. Hang your homemade bird feeder by a string on a tree branch. Then back away, watch and wait while robins, cardinals and sparrows come to feed.

 

Regardless of what you have planned, whether it's swimming, camping, fishing or traveling with your children, cherish the family time spent enjoying these summer months.

 

Sincerely,  

Leslie Wilson
