Create: Draw or Paint

Move: Obstacle Course
Supplies: Use what you have!
Directions: Set up an obstacle course outside or inside depending on the weather. Use what you have! Is there a chair to crawl under, a box to jump over?! Be creative! You can time each other going through the obstacle course, cheer each other on and just have fun!
Explore: What melts?
Supplies: Muffin tin, ice, and/or frozen/non-frozen items different items in a muffin tin.
Directions: Use ice with different things on it or use frozen and non-frozen items. Take guesses about what will melt and what will not. We did this with salt, baking powder, and pepper on ice cubes. Set it in the sun and then play outside, checking every so often on the ice!

Directions: You can get some popsicles from the store or make your own! We love to mix up frozen fruit, bananas, and spinach in our Nutribullet. We usually add a little bit of yogurt or water. Once it is blended, pour into molds and let freeze. If you do not have molds, you can pour them into plastic cups and stick popsicle sticks in them! If you want to try some delicious popsicle recipes, try out these tasty popsicles!
Tip: When ready to enjoy, run the popsicle molds under warm water to help loosen the popsicle.
