Write Snail Mail!

Practice the long lost art of pen pals.  Talk about the people in your life that would enjoy your child’s writing and artwork, then sit down and write a friendly letter or postcard to each person. Draw a picture too.  Ask for a reply letter and include your address. Stamp and mail the letters. The more letters you send the more mail you will receive!

Bake, Make and Share!

Bake cookies together, make flavored iced tea, or freeze fruity ice pops, then spread some random acts of kindness by taking them to friends and neighbors. Keep the kids involved by teaching them how to search for a recipe on the Internet or Pinterest and try something new as a family.

Here are some recipes to try:
