It's no secret that sunny weekends are happy weekends. If you're blessed to have a garden; use it. Use it ways you don't normally use it. Go exploring, have a treasure hunt, collect leaves, sort them into similar shapes or colours, or make funny faces with them on the terracotta tiles.That's what Mimi and I did while Lotti was resting. The top left face she did all by her own. I suggested a bendy leaf for a happy face, which was her second (top right). The next face she made she wanted happy-eyes, and the last, still hers, is the happiest face of all because of its happy eyes, ears, nose and mouth - yay for happy faces!
If it's the weekend and you're thinking of things for kids to do; get crafty... get crafty in your garden if the sun is shining, or get crafty in your usual crayon and paper ways... if you have access to a printer, download some free historical-art coloring pages and get to it... time is short and kids doing crafty things is all about happy faces!
