I am so excited to announce Discover and Explore, a brand new weekly link up that I will be co-hosting with Jacquie from KCEdventures!
Each week we will be partnering up to share an activity or resources based on a specific theme. We hope these link ups will provide you with great resources from all over the web. We’d also love your feedback on which themes you are most looking forward to and any suggestions for future themes.
Upcoming Themes
- April 10-Butterflies
- April 17-Earth Day (earth-friendly activities)
- April 24-Gardening with Kids
- May 1-Stars, Moon & Nighttime Sky
- May 8-Flowers
- May 15-Enjoy a Day at the Park (nature & outdoor activities)
- May 22-Art & Museum Fun
- May 29-Backyard Games
Details for Bloggers
If you’re a blogger, we invite you to link up your ideas related to the weekly theme. You can use new posts and/or link up posts from your archives. We hope to create a wide array of activities for each theme. They can be learning activities, crafts, field trips or family excursions, cooking activities, book-related activities, science experiments, games…whatever you are inspired to share that relates to the theme. We are really looking forward to seeing all of the ideas come together.
Each link up will remain open for two weeks. Then each co-host will create a post featuring some of the activities shared. These posts will be separate from the weekly link ups.
We’d appreciate any help in spreading the word about the link up via social media and any linky directories that you may have on your site.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

Oh, Ashley! I had to chuckle when I saw your comment…the button and I have been battling a bit today. 😉 I THINK this post should be updated with the button and code to grab now. Please try it out, and let me know if you have any trouble at all.
