Let kids be kids linky 21/1014

We are heading towards half term now and the children are feeling it. My kids are now rather hyper, which means they are tired. How are your children, are they ready for half term? We are looking forward to a few days away together next week, hoping we can get out for some autumnal walks.

This is a linky all about letting kids be kids, getting back to basics and having great childhood fun. We live in such a fast paced modern world with so much technology and stresses round every corner, we often need to be reminded to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).

Please join me in spreading the word, encouraging children to step away from the technology for a while and go out, run around, use their imaginations and just have general basic FUN!

Thank you to everyone who joined in last week with some lovely posts. There were some great ideas for wild weather play from Adventure togs and a lovely post from Mum in a nutshell with a letter to her bickering children while Ups and downs, smiles and frowns enjoyed a lovely autumn walk together. As always I love reading all the fun everyone has been having.

There’s not many rules, just link up your posts (screen free), old or new, about genuine childhood fun (of any age). It may be fun outdoors, jumping in puddles, nature hunts, riding bikes or making mud pies. Or it may be fun indoors with arts and crafts, making dens, cooking, messy play or reading. Or how about visiting a farm or fun at a fete. Or a discussion about children growing up too fast, etc.

Whatever basic fun you have been having or discussing, link up and share your ideas, visit others to grab some inspiration and comment on as many as you can, to give each other encouragement and support, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!

This linky will open every Tuesday for 6 days, so there’s plenty of time to add your posts.

Please spread the word and grab my badge from the sidebar.
