BIG KID’S DAY: grades K ~ 3rd, and younger siblings welcome!

We are just completing our first full year of Big Kid’s Day.  We began it last June, and that first summer was a huge success!  So far we have collaborated on planning and constructing a city, designing and building forts, brainstorming ideas for carnival attractions and then actually setting up and running it, putting together a fantastic scavenger hunt where we decided to find things with a variety of sensory qualities (something that stinks, something shiny, something gross, something tasty, etc.), we planned out and staged a huge obstacle course, and took turns running it in different ways: running, jumping, backwards, eyes closed and being guided, etc.); we listened to classic stories, made delicious cooking creations together and ate them while listening to classical stories, build tent citites on the bridle path, and in general had a lot of fun: parents and children alike.
