This summer the children's program at church challenged the kids to do random acts of kindness. The boys put quarters in zip-locks and taped a note that said "Please enjoy this random act of kindness". Then we taped them to gumball machines at our local County Market and at Walmart. The kids were so excited they could hardly stand it, they totally wanted to stake out the place to see who would get the bags.
This was a fun activity and we did it a few times for hot summer days. I found miscellaneous stuff, put it in a plastic bin, added water, froze it, then pop it out of the bin onto the sidewalk. After some major warnings about keeping toes at bay when using hammers and the screw driver I let them loose. Ages 9 and under loved this!
Agent H and papa hit up an airshow.
Agent E and The General are covered in mud but look at those sparkling eyes! Mud is good for the soul.
One of our favorite "mom needs you outside" activities. A cup of water and a paint brush so they can "paint" anything in sight.
