36 Crayon Activities + Next Week's Activity Plan


Hands On As We Grow®
Hey Reader!

I hope this newsletter finds you well. It's been a while and I'll be trying something new - so please send me your feedback on what you think - and what you'd like to see in your inbox. I'm also sending this on Friday which is new to me, I've always sent newsletters on Sunday or Monday -- so I'd appreciate your thoughts on when you'd like to see it in your inbox as well.

This newsletter includes a fun hands-on activity plan for you to do with your kids this coming week. Its seasonal with Spring and St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, but also includes some learning as usual.

These activities are meant to bring fun and a little cheer to your day with your kids and hopefully spark more activity once you get going!

Let me know what you think!
