Snow Painting: Kids of all ages, learn how to make snow paint for more snow fun outside. Snow days are sure to be some of the lasting memories for your child so get out there as much as you can. Kids always have a blast with snowballs, igloos, snowmen, sledding hills and we've been experimenting with snow paint and snow gems at our house.
We all have favorite ornaments on the tree that are handmade by family and friends. Every year when we break out the box of ornaments, we have great fun sharing stories about the good times we remember and it brings back very fond memories of crafting with family. It's been great fun to make ornaments for the tree with B and our current favorite is salt dough clay ornaments. It's easy to make the salt dough clay recipe and gathered up paint, glitter and spray varnish and make a morning of it.
Last spring, the DCR launched the Healthy Heart Trails initiative to promote better health. This initiative challenges Massachusetts residents to walk 75 miles before Labor Day - about a mile a day. The hope was that Massachusetts residents would make walking these trails part of their regular exercise routine.
When it's not raining, I've enjoyed time these past few weeks at a few of my favorite family-friendly parks. We're so lucky to have a summer's worth of options to play and picnic here on the north shore.
