I was ironing this morning and David was reading a book to Caroline. As part of reading the book, David said, “We’ll have to fly kites someday.” That got me to thinking about what other kinds of things Caroline should experience while she is a child. I thought it would fun to have everyone share their ideas of childhood experiences every child should have.
Here is a list of ideas to start things off.
- Catch fireflies in a jar
- Light sparklers on the Fourth of July
- Build a snowman
- Go to the beach
- Play in a sandbox
- Go to a baseball game
- Camp out
- Swing
- Go fishing
- Ride a bike
- Go to the zoo
What else should children do by the time they are ten? Obviously location will play a part in what is or is not possible. But, generally speaking, what childhood experiences should children have? I’ve only listed a few that are more play related, but educational and spiritual ideas are welcome, too!
