Stay Connected and Stay Healthy - COVID-19 Resource Guide Spring Break Edition
Activities for Kids
Reading - Mo Willems Lunch Doodles. BASE has many of Mo Willems’ books at our sites and they have been widely enjoyed by the kids. Mo Willems invites YOU into his studio every day for his LUNCH DOODLE. Learners worldwide can draw, doodle and explore new ways of writing by visiting Mo's studio virtually once a day for the next few weeks. Grab some paper and pencils, pens, or crayons and join Mo to explore ways of writing and making together.
Arts - We picked a few spring crafts for you to try and enjoy.
For the flowers and fish crafts gather some plastic forks, paper plates and fish and have fun creating.
For the butterfly craft use a toilet paper tube, paper, and a variety of any other items to create and decorate a butterfly.
STEM - DIY marshmallow catapults are fun to engineer and make and you can use a wide variety of supplies to create your catapult (pencils, dry pasta noodles, popsicle sticks, sticks, rulers, spoons).
BASE Kids Lab - Use the BASE Kids Lab www.basefortatkinson.org/lab during your screen time to access a variety of websites and activities.
