Taking Chances During Play

Taking Chances During Play

[ 2 ] 12.14.2011 |

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.”

Family Matters: Apple Picking, Recipes + More

[ 1 ] 9.16.2011 |

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.

Go on a Public Art Scavenger Hunt in Providence: Teach Children Energy Conservation and Recycling

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.
