What to do on a hot day

Pond work

Idea #1: Wear a big hat and wade in a pond. Look for frogs and prune plants. If possible, hunker down low in the water, so it looks like there’s a floating hat. Stand up suddenly when an unsuspecting maintenance man stops by. Double points if he yells. (Double points for Daniel today.)

Sculpey kids

Idea #2: Gather together with friends and create tiny animals using Sculpey clay. While Mom bakes them in the oven, eat Otter Pops.

Tiny mice

Idea #3: Create a house for your tiny mice friends, using odds and ends, such as an empty bobbin for a table, lego cupboards, stray golden beads to fill a treasury, and seeds for food. Don’t forget the trampoline, made from a broken leather doll chair. These critters are shorter than a penny.

Pooh and Piglet

Idea #4: Take a nap. That’s what I did all afternoon.
