[ad] Have your school-age children slipped into th

[ad] Have your school-age children slipped into the “COVID Slide” this summer? To get your young learners back in the groove before school starts up again (however that may look for you), consider these STEAM products.
🧪
GLOW-IN-THE-DARK SCIENCE LAB from Thames & Kosmos. We made chalk that glows in the dark! The set comes with all the necessary chemistry supplies so it was easy for my 11-year-old scientist to mix up the plaster. She and her younger brother had fun scribbling with the chalk and illuminating it in the dark with the included UV flashlight (blacklight)! https://thamesandkosmos.com/index.php/product/category/science-kits/glow-in-the-dark-science-lab
🔬
CREATTO from Thames & Kosmos. Using only interlocking plastic tiles, we constructed a 3D, light-up Magical Moose! This crafting kit posed a bit of a challenge for my mechanically-minded 6th grader and me, so we ended up following instructions from a YouTube video. Therefore, it would be suitable for more advanced students. https://www.thamesandkosmos.com/index.php/creatto
👩‍🔬
More on the COVID Slide: According to a survey conducted by Varsity Tutors, approximately 68% of parents are concerned about their children falling behind grade-level expectations as a result of remote learning from the current COVID-19 pandemic. Products and activities such as the ones mentioned here continue education from home and are more important than ever. The projects and kits stimulate hands-on learning which can go a long way in keeping students on track, get them through the current crisis, and prepare them for the school year ahead.

I’ve been admiring this mural for several months

I’ve been admiring this mural for several months now and finally got around to snapping a photo. It adorns one side of the Above & Beyond Children’s Museum in downtown Sheboygan. As I was taking the photo, a museum board member just happened to walk past. We got to talking and he shared the story behind the mural. It was done by a local student and it’s meant to symbolize the bond between mother and child with a nod to understanding mental illness among our youth. (I’m sure the full explanation is way more eloquent 😄) As for the museum, I’d love to tell you all about it but it’s still closed due to COVID-19. We will definitely visit as soon as it reopens!

A couple more from Bookworm Gardens in @visitsheboygan just because it’s so darn cute and colorful. This is “A Playhouse for Monster” by Virginia Mueller.

Spent a good portion of yesterday at Sheboygan’s South Pier. We had ice cream, did a little fishing, went for a walk on the beach, and just enjoyed the sunshine ☀️

The kids and I are spending the next week in Shebo

The kids and I are spending the next week in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. We're excited to explore even more of the area. Yesterday, we made our first-ever visit to Bookworm Gardens, a botanical garden inspired by children's literature. The gardens and accompanying structures and displays are creative, imaginative, and so lovely! This shot is from outside the Hansel & Gretel Cottage that is so adorable, I’m trying to figure out how I can live there 😁

Staying in exotic hotels and locations can be an adventure, but if you’re looking to stay in a tourist spot like Orlando, a timeshare can be a good option when vacationing with kids. When you no longer want the timeshare, a timeshare exit can be achieved with the help of a company like Wesley Financial Group.
