Anyway, as you can imagine I was desperate for the weather to be good this week because we are in living a rather dusty and cramped existence. So we set off to meet THE DANGEROUS CLUB FOR BOYS. I think we had a bout 15 boys in total today and parachuting was our theme.
To get rid of some energy we scooted to a meadow of wild flowers. The boys were leaping in and out of secret bushy areas, seeing if the pirates from a few weeks back had left any treasure... sadly they hadn't.
We enjoyed blowing the dandelions and watching the boys 'effortlessly' spit all over them.... hehe!
Parachute games are so simple. You stand in a circle holding the edge of the chute and throw it up in to the air. It is a light material that then balloons up.... A few games you could try are....
1) Throw cuddly toys on the parachute
2) Throw balls on it and try to get it to stay on the parachute whilst ballooning it up and down
3) Throw the chute up and get the kids to run underneath it
4) Throw it up and then sit on the inside of it so you have made a tent... pretend there is a storm outside
5) Get a couple of kids to sit on it and pretend they are in a washing machine!
This is a PERFECT activity for 2-4 year olds, simple, easy, great for most weathers (possibly not a sleet storm!... your call I guess).

The boys loved pretending there was a storm outside
Welcome summer, oh how we have missed you and we are glad you are here... may all sleet storms exist in our imaginations only!!
