Let kids be kids linky 2/9/14

What a summer holiday we’ve had. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun we been having. There have been some wonderful moments, great memories created and lots of quality family time. I will also admit there has been some tough times too and I am actually now looking forward to a bit of routine returning this week when BB starts back at school on wednesday.

What have you been up to this summer? I hope you’ve had lots of fun too.

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, for 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!

There was a fantastic number of great posts linked up last week, including a fab idea for a woodland mobile via Transforming into butterflies, while Five adventurers gave some good ideas for getting kids outdoors having fun and I loved these sycamore seed fairies from The gingerbread house.

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 get 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 if possible from my sidebar.

If you tweet me your link (@karenattwinlife), I will happily retweet.
