Dirt is good for you!

Now this I have to share. I love when I come across something so exciting it inspires me to get back to my blog. If you have any lingering doubts about letting your kids play in the dirt (soil that is!) read on!

For the scoop on one reason why soil is so good for us, read here.




Outside play tip of the day:  Take a rain walk!
Put on those rain boots, grab your umbrella and step outside for a walk in the rain. Warm, rainy days like today (well, relatively warm for February, it's a balmy 57 degrees here outside of Philadelphia!) are perfect for playing outside if you have the right gear.

While you're at it, look for signs of Spring! Journey North is a great way for teachers to bring their classrooms outside!
