Kids benefit from opportunities to explore and experience a variety of places, relationships, and activities. This article from Childcare Exchange makes it clear that the benefits continue throughout our lives. So go for it! (In the last few months, my "new things" have included taking an acting class, plans to teach a creative class to high school students, and going dog sledding.) What are some new things you've been up to?
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.—Dale Carnegie
"Try something new. One way to take your memory to a higher level is to expose it to as many new experiences as possible. Recent studies conducted in Germany by University of Magdeburg researchers... demonstrated that novelty stimulates activity not only in the memory centers of the hippocampus/medial temporal lobe, but also in the dopamine rich midbrain areas responsible for motivation and reward processing. Because dopamine can enhance learning, anything you consider unique gives you proactive neurocircuitry more ammunition. By trying something new at least once a week... you provide yourself with more cross-reference material to draw on in the future."

St David's, a Minnetonka center for preschool, therapy, child and family services, is celebrating 50 years on Saturday AND the opening of the first toddler playground in Minnesota combining inclusive and natural play elements. They also have a school forest. I love it. The festival events will include Minnesota Zoo animals, hayrides, nature crafts, and I'll be there helping kids journal about how and where they like to get around. Know any kids YOU can bring?
Rover, River, and I invite you to get around to Stockholm WI this weekend!Dog Days of Stockholm is for people who love dogs, books, and art (any or all of the above). It's a cool little town to explore, plus there will be events all day long (including writing workshops, music, and dog-related fun). You'll find me at the children's tent helping kids journal about how and where they like to get around. Come see us!

Amy, Eric, and Axel took the light rail to Minnehaha Falls park recently. Yay! An adventure that includes both alternative transportation and getting outdoors :-) Amy says "Axel such a train boy it was hard to talk him into getting off the train!"

Q: Describe i-get-around and where the idea came from.
A: i-get-around is collection of books and fun "activity encouragement" products for kids who get around in everyday life, on special trips, and in their imaginations. Curiosity, discovery, and learning are encouraged by Rover, a loveable, adventurous (and kinda silly) hound who likes to get around and learn along the way. Rover inspires little ones (age 0-8) to be creative and connected with the world around them—including being active in the outdoors and nature (i-get-around is a natural fit for helping to get kids outside and to be more physically active). Rover bikes, skis, skates, dances, walks, talks, runs, jumps, swims...read more

Excellent article! It's interesting to learn a little bit about the behind-the-scenes activity involved in developing a children's book/product. It clearly is an adventure worthy of Rover himself!
We had so much fun visiting Laura Risdall's kindergarten class at Burroughs Elementary, that we're going on tour! On Fridays, March 12th through June 4th, we'll be visiting preschools and kindergarten classes for a book reading, physical activity, and an art project. Spread the word and get signed up--spots will fill quickly! Check out this 2 and a half minute preview:
