“There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew” --Marshall McLuhan
Earth Day is Every Day
Celebrate Earth Day April 22nd! It is a good time for you and your child to talk about the importance of caring for the earth, and the ways we can honor this planet we call home. Each person, large or small, young or old, can make a difference, beginning in our own backyards. Recycling paper and glass, composting the organic waste from our tables, reusing household items, and reducing the amount of garbage we generate are all significant and tangible contributions to the environment. Taking the time to explain to children why it is important to do these things guides them to an informed future of critical environmental decisions.
The Way From Here: Essays from the Mudpies Files:
These essays and journal entries reflect the lurching, joyous process of raising four children. It is a place where terrible birthday parties are thrown, tempers are lost and found, and the ways of a child bring the whole world into perspective.
Why is resiliency a critical life skill? How can we raise creative kids in a hurried world? What can families do to reclaim time for joy and connection? Why does too much choice diminish a child's life? How does spending time outdoors make healthier, smarter children?
Parents, teachers, and daycare providers need look no further for the activity sourcebook that will keep their kids happy and busy for hours of fun. The Mudpies Activity Book offers creative fun with simple materials and little adult supervision.
The outdoors is one of the finest places for making childhood memories. Time spent out the back door is better than TV, better than computer games, and Go Outside! is filled with over 130 activities for outdoor adventures.
