Let kids be kids linky 4/11/14

Did you all enjoy last weeks half term with the kids? What did you get up to for halloween?

We had a great time in the New Forest with lots of walking, fresh air, swimming, fun and family time. We came home to a wonderful gathering of friends for halloween and fireworks….I was even mummified! It had definitely been a lovely half term here.

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 linked up last week, I really want to have a go at making bagels now after reading the post from Small people big ideas. I also loved reading about what life is like growing up on a farm from Bubba Blue and me and a very interesting post from Familiality about parenting.

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.

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