Why

Simple outdoor pleasures like playing a game or having a picnic create some of the best summer memories! Encourage your kids to capture the fun!

Steps

1. 1. What kinds of things do you like to do outdoors in the summer? What sports do you play with your friends? Who attends family reunions? Or summer concerts in the park?
2. 2. Use Crayola® Colored Pencils and Crayons to illustrate a favorite get-together. Include details about the people, setting, and event. You'll have a colorful record of a fun summer's day.

Interesting Info

Did you realize that games are invented? Basketball came from a game called Duck on a Rock. Empty metal pie tins were used as the first Frisbee® more than 100 years ago. The name on the bottom of those tins was Frisbie's Bakery.
