Cute Idea - OUTDOOR ALPHABET TRACK!

Once again, the "I Can Teach My Child" blog has shared an adorable, outside activity for your kiddos, students, or the children you babysit.  An OUTDOOR ALPHABET TRACK.  And all you need is: SIDEWALK CHALK
(Click on picture for full description of activity.)

Use a variety of sidewalk chalk colors and write the letters of the alphabet in order, creating a path for your child to follow...either by foot or by bike.  

A couple of VARIATIONS to this FUN ACTIVITY came to my mind, and I thought I'd share them with you, too:
      *Write NUMBERS in order, instead of letters.

      *Toss BEANBAGS onto the letters or numbers and name take turns naming them.

      *Write your CHILD'S NAME in order. 

      *When writing the letters or numbers, write them in a COLOR PATTERN (i.e. red, blue, red, blue...you get the idea!)

      *Create the path to make a SHAPE (i.e. a large heart or circle, etc.)

      *Have the path lead to a SPECIAL SURPRISE like a fun snack, another outdoor toy to play with, etc.

Have fun outdoors with the little ones in your life as we enjoy this GORGEOUS Spring weather!!!
