For this week's family play activity, colour, create and play with sidewalk chalk. Sidewalk chalk is a great way to get outside and allow your children's imaginations to run wild. Educational benefits include improvement of fine motor skills, the development of a child's imagination, cooperation skills and play skills. After your children have had some time to free play with their sidewalk chalk, you can tried structured games such as hopscotch, tic tac, SOS, or any other games that you would play on paper. You can also make up games such as drawing pretend rocks that they have to 'jump' on to avoid shark or crocodile infested waters. Have a great Saturday!
