Kicking leaves…Splashing puddles
Kids love this great activity it’s kicking piles of leaves or splashing in the puddles. All you need are your wellies and you are off… You can also collect conkers and pine cones to make decorations.
Pebble art a great activity for the kids…
You’ve probably seen lots of pebbles or rocks around in your local parks.
It’s the latest craze, there’s even a Facebook group called Stockport rocks it has 3,000 members.
They have set up a great game for the kids to do:
• Just decorate your pebbles with acrylic paint, permanent pens or nail polish
• You can find them near streams or buy them from pound shops or hobby shops
• Write on back “if found post on Stockport rocks on Facebook”
• Hide them in safe places in any local park, then other kids can go on the hunt for the pebbles then post it on Facebook …. it’s great fun
There are already some your local parks such as Woodbank, Torkington, Cale Green, Alexander Park & Bramhall, so get involved and get your rocks on Facebook.
