Like most moms, a large part of my day is spent correcting and directing my kids. And while it’s important for kids to have structure and routine (many kids, including my own, thrive on that), I also believe that play and having fun is an integral part of their growth and development. Particularly during the summer months, we flex when it comes to bedtime, sleep in when we can, get messy and crafty and culinary, and have Popsicles before dinner during our hot summer months.
Last month, I shared our Family Rules for Being a Kid in anticipation of Popsicle’s new guidebook. After receiving almost 2000 submissions, Popsicle narrowed it down to 40 of their favorite Rules for Being a Kid and compiled a free, downloadable guidebook.
In this guidebook, you’ll find Big Kid Rules, Friends Rules, Silly Rules, Make-Believe Rules, and Summer Rules. Here are just a few of my kids’ favorites:
Popsicle’s Rules for Being a Kid Guidebook is free and can be downloaded here. Along with offering inspiration and reminding all of us what it means to be a kid, the guidebook offers free printable coloring pages, crafts, and activities perfect for the Summer months.
Win It! TWO of you will win EIGHT coupons for full-sized packages of Popsicle products! Simply complete the Rafflecopter form AND leave me a comment with your favorite Rule for Being a Kid from the Guidebook. Comments will close on July 14, 2014 at 11:59 PM PST.
