SUMMER FUN BEFORE IT'S OVER!

 Okay, in some places it's time for school to start again. So here are 6 things you should definitely enjoy before you get into all the busy that is school season.

1.  Make something out of mud. Even better do it after it's rained. What is that mud like? How is different from dry dirt? Is there one way it's still the same? Take pictures of what you made and send me one to share here. 

2. Play flashlight tag in the dark. 

3. Go on a shadow hunt Try to find the following shadows. But take an adult along because grown-ups need to have fun too:

•Find a shadow with a bright hole in it.

•Find the biggest shadow you can. Figure out what made it.

•Find the littlest shadow you can. Figure out what made it.  

4. Make a FOOT painting. Sure, you've probably done fingerprinting. But have you ever painted with your feet? It will really let you STEP UP as an artist. Try mixing your own paints first.

5. Look at the world through a magnifying glass. Especially something you never thought to look at closely before. See anything that surprised you?  

6. Put on a puppet show with puppets you make yourself.
