April Showers Will Bring May Flowers!

April 1st, 2008
  • Plan ahead now to prepare for the next soggy day outside; so whenever the rain puts a damper on your kids’ mood and cabin fever begins to drive everyone crazy, you’ll be ready to snap into action with some quick ideas to keep your children occupied and having fun for hours. Here are some suggestions:  A game of Twister, turning your home into an indoor obstacle course, dancing, and puppet shows!
  • Make sure everyone in your family is fully equipped with the proper rain gear – rain coat, rain boots and umbrella – since we don’t want anyone catching colds, especially right into the spring season!
  • When beginning to plant your beautiful garden this spring, why not have your kids join you? Gardening can be a great way to get the whole family active.
  • Rainy days make for a great time to review all of your children’s school work and can bring everything back on track for you when you feel you’ve lost your ground. If they have a quiz or test approaching, quiz them and make a game out of it including flash crads and the rest of the family.
  • Start a family tradition this spring with a ‘Family Spring Clean-Up’. Have you and your children clean out their closet and old toys to remove clutter and get organized. Donate items in good condition to local charity.
