Raising an Environmentally Aware Child

Sometimes my daughter’s creative thought process inspires me to look at the world around me a little bit differently. Many times after tossing items into a junk pile to be thrown out, I've later found them tucked away in her craft room or they artistically show up as part of the latest accessory to her playthings.

Raising an environmentally aware child is up there on my lists of “things I want for my child”. I think she is off to a great start, but this prompted me to figure out some more ways I can help her to become more aware of the environment in her daily activities.

Here are a few ways you too can help your child become more environmentally aware during your daily activities and hopefully create some “world healthy” habits while you’re at it!

Friday Home Fun - Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is observed in Mexico and Mexican-American communities in the U.S. to celebrate the victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Cinco De Mayo celebrations include large parades, yummy food and festive music! I hope these special projects help your family to to join in the festivities.
