Question for parents: Do you have young kids driving you crazy because they are "bored" and they have nothing to do during the summer? Have no fear; Donna's here.
You may recognize the name of Donna Erickson, author of Donna's Day (306.8743 ERI). I'm not sure if she's on TV anymore, but Donna Erickson used to have (or has) her own show on PBS with the same title.
She has a creative way of making learning fun for kids. One of the chapters called "Atlas in the Kitchen" has parents cooking with kids and learning about other cultures, such as China, India, and Africa.
Not all activities are for inside. "Hikes and Bikes" includes some outdoor activities.
Because some of the activities are sloppy and goopy, kids will really enjoy this book. So...parents before getting too excited with Donna's suggestions, be sure to have plenty of old clothes handy for the kids and turn "Donna's Day" into your day of fun with the kids. You never know. The time you spend with the kids (with the help of Donna) might very well be the days that your kids will remember the rest of their lives.
