Let kids be kids linky 14/10/14

Autumn has definitely hit us with a mixture of weather and has also unfortunately brought quite a bit of rain into the picture. Those school runs really aren’t pleasant in the rain are they? However, it can be a good excuse to jump in some muddy puddles or snuggle up inside with a lovely craft or game. We have been doing quite a bit of crafting which the children have had fun with, as well as some nice autumn 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!

Last week I particularly loved reading about pumpkin painting with toddlers from Crafts on sea, which I had never thought of before, while Brina Bird and Son had a wonderful time at Wyming Brook nature reserve and Keeping strong and moving forward enjoyed baby’s first birthday. Thank you to everyone who liked up, as always great inspiring reads.

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.
