Good Thursday Afternoon!

v  NatureKids BC is hosting a virtual conversation and they would like to discuss how families access the benefits of nature and what could support families to enjoy nature. This is an open community conversation and participating families receive a gift from NatureKids BC! If you would like to attend this Conversation of Equity with NatureKids BC on June 15th at 630 PM- 730 PM, register here.

v  Games with our children don’t have to be complicated! Paper tubes (from paper towel, toilet paper, or posters) have a lot of potential. Taping tubes together and rolling balls through is a simple and highly engaging game for little ones curious about hiding smaller objects in larger objects or are curious about the different components of toys or objects. Taping two rolls together make for a quick set of binoculars for a game of eye spy. Adding some rice or dried lentils and taping off the top and bottom with tin foil make a little shaker! Set out a basket of tubes and see what your little one comes up with.

v  For more children’s activities, parenting tips and self-care ideas, make sure to check out the Parenting Place Blog!
