Greetings everyone! I apologize for the lack of posting, but I’ve been really occupied planning workshops and serving my community. I can’t wait to share with you all the new and exciting things PJPP has recently accomplished.
But first I want to talk to YOU about Earth Week. This Wednesday April 22nd 2020 is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, but as an herbalist and outdoors enthusiast my youngest daughter and I will be celebrating this holiday all week. With all of the stress and uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic we are hoping to give families a fun outlet to appreciate the Earth in their own neighborhoods. So throughout the week we’ll be posting different activities and lessons that the whole family can benefit from. It’s really important that children maintain some form of a schedule and structure while we’re not physically in school and these hands on activities are perfect solution for just that. For my moms under the age of 9 this hands on learning piece is really important! We’ll include segments about “Urban Herbs” where I will go through a walk around the neighborhood and identify various herbs you’ve probably seen. We’ll feature simple experiments to foster your kid’s curiosity for science, and show you some fun crafts from recycled materials.
These activities are meant to be uplifting for you and your families and can be done indoors or outdoors. While it is quarantine, the CDC still recommends everyone get 30 minutes of daily exercise, and a walk through the neighborhood doing these activities could fill that gap.
Comment and let me know how you’ve been holding up this quarantine, any special earth week requests, or just to say hi 🙂
Peace, love and light
