Sunny Summer Activity Ideas for Kids

Sunny summer days are here. Looking for ideas for simple tasks Kid? And the sun even to plan fun activities and summer for children? The Sun is our closest star and very important to us. The sun gives us light, heat, energy and life.

I recommend this book, the sun, our nearest star by Franklyn Mansfield Branley to read with children at school. The book explains why the sun is so important for us in a colorful and lively format. If you have InternetAccess, check the NASA Dynamic Sun] http://dynamicsun.gsfc.nasa.gov/activities.html website [.

Before we had clocks, time to tell people to use solar energy. Make a simple sundial with heavy cardboard. Cut a square of cardboard 18 For the gnomon (the part above the sundial), cut 8 "square of cardboard. Cut a notch and a half in a corner. ½ Fold the two sides "to the fold. Fold the square in the centerCreate a triangular shape. Tape the tops of the gnomon at the center of one side of the large square of cardboard.

To calibrate the dial, it should be noted Gnomon's Guide to the South (with a compass). Note the dial once every hour and a line on the cardboard to the edge of the shadow of the gnomon. Write the next time the track. Over the next few days of sunshine, you can check the sundial at the time, instead of a watch! Be sure to keep the sundialin the same place every day.

Another activity of fun is back to Sun, you will need black construction paper and shaped objects such as keys, small toys or cut letters or shapes of black paper. Place them randomly on colored paper and let the sun all day. At the end of the day, the role of faded colors, except in areas covered by objects. Finally, to give the creation of a postcard from the sun, a special occasion!

Try cookingwith solar energy! Plum jump in the heat of summer sun. You need 2 pounds of fresh plums and ¼ cup light corn syrup. Finely chop the plums and discard the box and in a large pot. Add corn syrup and cook 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender and mix well. Allow to cool. ¼ Cover pan with plastic wrap and pour the puree too tense "thick. Let the sun (can take up to dry2 days in the sun). The plum is irregular, or wrap, remove the plastic with ease. Kids love these healthy home made equal!

Some ideas for summer activities for other children to "shadow" games such as tag or charades create clay baker home Sun Hang, making tea and that's the end of the day and go watch a beautiful sunset together!
