Run, Run as Fast as You Can!

Does this sound familiar? You might think I’m writing about that fabled Gingerbread Man … “Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man.” But this is actually my reminder to parents and anyone who cares about kids. Be sure there’s time to play outdoors and run and jump and shout for joy. Look at the smile on Ryan’s face as she’s chasing her dad at a wonderful sculpture garden we visited last week called Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ. You may not think of a sculpture as a great experience for young children but it is. All those surprises out in nature. And, while we were there, there was lots of  open space to play a great game of chase. She loved it and got a great education about art along with it.

Okay, ready, set, GO! … Play chase as fast as you can!
