Kites!!! and The Outdoor Play Party

Friday, March 16, 2012

Welcome to The Outdoor Play Party hosted by Mama Pea PodLearning for Life, and Greening Sam and Avery.

Our city hosts an annual kite festival.  We have made a tradition of going to the event with our daughter for three years in a row.  It's held on a grassy lawn with thousands of people and hundreds of kites floating in the sky.

My daughter is always mesmerized by the experience.

She decided she would rather fly a balloon than fly our kite.

All tuckered out, we chilled on the grass.

Another outdoor play idea is our leprechaun hunt.  It's a playful way to spend St. Patrick's Day outdoors.  

Another hunt you could enjoy is the nature treasure hunt shared by Mama's Little Muse at last week's play party.  She sewed a lovely bag for her son to collect nature treasures, engaged in a learning discussion, and created a gorgeous sun catcher.  

Now, it's your turn to share your outdoor play with your kids or students in our Outdoor Play Linky Party.  If you don't have a blog post to share, share what you did outdoors in the comment section.

Oh, how fun! We used to go to a kite festival when we lived in Japan, it was just breathtaking to see so many kites in the sky together. One of my favourite memories of my time there :-) Thanks for reminding me!

That kite festival looks like so much fun!!!

We had three days of stunning weather this week before it got cold again, but I didn't take ANY pictures!!! Hopefully I'll do better next time, and then I'll link up :)

When did you live in Japan? I am glad to have rekindled happy memories.

It is fun, but it's not everyone's cup of tea bc of the crowds. It's worth braving the crowds for, in my opinion. I hope you can link up the next time, Mary Anne. I am just happy to hear you spent time outside. We don't get many pictures of our outdoor time since it's hard to keep track of a camera outdoors.

You have over a week to link up, Andrea, and I hope you are able to share your hiking pictures. We love to hike too. Thank you for the follow!
