Can You Come Outside to Play??

Thanks to the AMAZING & creative mommy skills of my good friend, Danielle, our family has signed up for the 30 Day Challenge to go outside EVERY DAY in the month of April, RAIN OR SHINE!  I will be posting a daily pic of us outside in what ever weather doing some of the fun ideas Danielle will be posting on her Come Outside to Play blog!  There’s still time for you to sign up!  Just go to Danielle’s blog follow the instructions.  You can also follow & LIKE Can You Come Outside to Play on Facebook!  I’m super excited to participate in this fun activity with ALL my kids.  I know I can get the girls out but the challenge will be to get the BOYS outside! Wish us luck and join us if you can!  Let me know when you’d like to meet at the park!

From Come Outside to Play blog:

*If you would like to accept the challenge to play outside EVERY DAY in the month of April, please comment on the Can You Come Outside to Play?  blog post and become a follower of that blog.   Also share your FAVORITE place to play outside as a child. At the end of April I will ask you to post again if you met the challenge.  There will be a drawing for an Amazon Gift Card.

*We will share ideas throughout the month of April on how to reach this goal.  We will include books and blogs about the benefits of outdoor play. If you have a book or blog you think we should highlight, please message me at daniellescribner at juno.com.

*Each week I will also host a "Weekly Virtual Play Date."   Something that we all do in our separate locations.  On Sundays, I will add a link-up where you can share pictures and blog posts about your outdoor play that previous week, if you wish.  This isn't required.   

*For it to count, I think the playtime should be at least 30 minutes total that day.  (Although much more would be ideal). At the end of the month you and your child(ren) will have been outdoors at least 900 minutes together!

*We will be reading books about outside for our Mommy and Me Book

I’m so excited!
