		<description><![CDATA[Wanna get away? You can travel anywhere in the world from your living room rug.  Enjoy a fantasy travel sketch workshop with your family. This project can be as simple as drawing a picture of your destination, or as complex as answering every one of the questions below and more!

Travel Sketch MaterielsI asked my six year-old son what city in the world he might like to visit this week and a lively conversation ensued.  He enthusiastically chose Jerusalem, which surprised me as I have never heard him mention the city, and delighted me with the suggestion that we look up their currency and train tickets on the web.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a windy but sunny day in early fall, and my son and I slowly approach the gigantic spider web climbing net at Tuckertown Park in South Kingstown. My three year old is the tentative sort, and the conversation goes something like this:

“Come on, Devin. Let’s climb the spider web!”

“No, no, Mommy. I too little.”

“Nah, you’re not too little. You can do it.”

“I too scared, Mommy.”

“What are you scared of?”

“I scared I gonna fall.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple picking is one of our favorite fall traditions. We spend time together outdoors as a family, support local farmers, and learn about how and where real apples grow.

We often combine our trip with a tailgate picnic lunch at the orchard or snack at a nearby café. Once home from apple picking, we sort our bounty; setting aside smaller apples for the lunch box and selecting larger or slightly bruised apples for cooking.

Favorite orchards...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe it's never too early to teach social responsibility to our children. This art installation is a perfect opportunity to combine the arts, treasure maps, a scavenger hunt, and the outdoors while talking about energy consumption, natural resources and our right to vote. And the added bonus of public art? It's free and open to the public.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last few years at about this time I start making a list (yes, an actual list because that’s the kind of person I am) of all the things I want to do with my kids during the summer. I do this because I don’t want to forget some of the great ideas I - or someone else - had over the winter; because I am just plain excited to have my kids all to myself for the summer; and because I like to organize anything and everything.

I’ve learned a little bit along the way. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shannon Baer is an educator and consultant. She has a Master’s degree in Geology and is a children’s yoga teacher. She blogs at www.backyardmama.com and teaches workshops to parents and teachers on linking to nature and learning through movement.

Today she writes about children's yoga:

This morning my son stopped me as I ran down the stairs. I was frantically getting everything ready for the morning commute to school, “pay the toll mom” he said, smiling.

For my part, I stopped on the stairs and took three deep belly breaths. He said, “good job mom” and let me by. This game, Pay the Toll comes from our yoga experiences together.]]></description>
