We’ve enjoyed reading different versions of “Stone Soup”. Today, Millie and I created a story together about a girl who was stranded at sea and came upon a small island. She crawled out of her boat and a glimmer in the sand caught her eye. It was a small, but perfectly intact conch shell. She put it in her pocket and stumbled into the island village…. (It’s called “Shell Soup” 🐚 and I bet you can tell the rest of the story 😉).
I love brainstorming comic ideas with Chloe. In walking through the park, we saw some parakeets flying over head and thought they needed a comic. When we came home and tried to think of something, a magpie flew into our front garden and I thought, “What a pretty bird”. My next thought was, “but not as pretty as the parakeet!” and our comic was born. #createtogether
We don’t count our CD player as a “device” for our device-free days. But phones, iPads, and laptops (including Spotify on those devices) are off limits.
A friend mentioned in a comment recently that board games was how they got through the winter. @gamewright has come out with most of our favorites:
