Summer Sanity Savers

I’M BORED! The words that every parent dreads to hear. So, let’s change it up by letting GoNoodle save your sanity this summer. When you hear your child say, “I’m bored!” answer with these 5 questions from Kara B., GoNoodling teacher and mom from Cary, NC! 

Have you…

B – Brainercized with Mr. Catman?

O – Online or off, checked out Camp GoNoodle activities for movement, creativity, and exploration? (Camp starts June 29!)

R – Regrouped, refocused, and relaxed with Maximo?

E – Exercised for at least 20 minutes with Mega Mixes or Fresh Start Fitness’s Total Motion?

D – Dance partied with Zumba Kids, The KIDZ BOP Kids, or Koo Koo Kanga Roo?

DIY Dinosaur Fossils

4K+

We also made some ice fossils. The kids thought this was BEYOND fun! I got the idea from HERE.

We had everything on hand, so it was a free and very fun project.

SUPPLIES:

– toy dinosaurs

– tupperware

– water

– food coloring (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill your tupperware with water half way and add your dinosaurs. Mine floated, but don’t worry about that just yet.

2. Add food coloring.

3. Freeze in the freezer.

4. Take out your tupperware once it is completely froze. I did mine over night.

5. Now add more water to the top so dinosaurs are completely covered.

6. Take out your ice block. I ran my tupperware under hot water for a few seconds to help loosen it up.

7. This is the fun part… crack your ice open. We did this by dropping it on the cement. It was super fun!! LOL!

8. We broke away the rest with a small hammer. We got the rest of the ice off by putting it under hot water.

The kids thought this was the coolest activity because they felt like they were really “digging” out the dinosaurs and un-freezing them. I felt a little Encino Man-ish myself, if I’m going to be honest, but it was FUN!!
