Activities for
Growing Together
About the blog
The blog is a collection of playful learning ideas for school-aged children. The learning ideas focus on social, emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being.
The activity ideas will be:
Budget-friendly
Connection and community-focused
Limited technology needed
Playful learning is open-ended learning that is focused on being mindful and present during the activity, rather than focused on the result or outcome. Children have the freedom to explore and express themselves during the activity.
