365 FUN FAMILY ACTIVITIES

Okay all of you young mothers out there and Grandma's and Grandpa's too! I was in Seagull Book the other day and came across this fun little calendar. It is fun family activities to do with your families for the whole year. After having all of our grandchildren spending a week with us, I was worn out with activities to do all the time. When I saw this, I told Ashley and Joanna if they had just ONE activity for the kids to look forward to each day, instead of one every hour, it might help. So I am going to post for anyone who would like to take advantage of this little post from me each week for an activity A DAY. Let us know how you are doing with it and how your children like it. Here goes-
April 6 - Enjoy tomatoes, eat fresh tomatoes and use tomato sauce in your family's dinner. Drink tomato juice with lunch.
April 7 - Share riddles and knock-knock jokes around the dinner table.
April 8 - |Draw a picture of your favorite bird. Add beads, fabric, or feathers to the picture.
April 9 - Look up the meaning of the name of each family member. Discover variations on your names in other languages. Hunt for famous people with your name.
April 10 - Make a pretend banjo with a box and strings. Sing "Oh Susanna,"
April 11 - Introduce your children to the concept of welding with a glue gun or Super Glue. Construct something from wood.
April 12- Volunteer as a family at a local homeless shelter, library, or your church.

Lots of love and kisses to all our family, extended family, friends, neighbors, and strangers. Grandma Tammy
