Everyone from pioneering aviators to World War I armies used kites. The armies in WWI used kites to observe enemy troops.
If you live near the Washington, the Smithsonian Kite Festival is on March 27 and would make a nice trip for you and your kids. Kites of all shapes and sizes will be flown.
Other outdoor activities that day include a Rokkaku-kite battle-see how many enemy kites you can force to the ground. Learn more at http://kitefestival.org/
I wish I lIved there; I would love to see their display of hand-crafted kites from all over the world. If you go take some pictures for me, OK?
Another fun thing to do now that the weather is getting nicer is build a juice bar or other structure from a Quadro Junior II adventure playset. It comes with 390 components to build 32 unique models. Build a puppet theatre, large desk or a goal. Strong and lightweight and completely safe.
Huskies are considered the perfect companion by many of their owners. This is probably so because of the fact that they are extremely loyal and especially the older breeds – which are very alert to their owners need and extremely well behaved in most situations.
Alaskan huskies are very energetic, which makes them excellent for families with energetic kids and they are one of the choice dogs for pet owners who need someone to have their daily run with. As dogs go, these breed of dogs are really very energetic, so they need a lot of space to run and play.
Teaching your kids about huskies and this frozen section of our world will be more fun with Arctic Expedition, one of ImagiPLAY’s wooden kids toys. This is an adventure playset for kids age 3 up. The 8 x 5 inch igloo tote has a Velcro-closure to store all the wooden figures. There are seven chunky figures including a husky and a natural wood sled.
Available online.
When your day is crammed with too much to do and your kids are looking for some attention take a break and spend some time playing together. Everything will go smoother and you will create a memory making experience.
This might be a perfect time to pull out a new adventure playset you have tucked away in the closet for just such an occasion. Kids who are beginning to show an interest in space would enjoy some new space themed childrens learning toys.
Exploring our Galaxy will be fun with a Zoom to the Moon playset that includes wooden figures of aliens, animals and even a spaceship. Then you could make a stop at the library and check out some new books to read together.
Another idea is to search the Internet for coloring pages about space and spaceships. Plan a day of space-fun and arrange to throw an outer space themed party including recipes and crafts.
