Summer Challenge Week Four - RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

on

It's week four of the Summer Challenge, and hopefully you're having a blast sharing great books, having good discussions, and getting active with your kiddos. Maybe you've gone out for ice cream, built a sand castle, or went for a sailing adventure in an inflatable raft! If not, don't worry. You can join in on the fun any time! 

The Fourth of July is fast approaching, so this week's challenge is Red, White, and Blue! We hope that this week's theme will inspire you to read some books about the American flag and have some red, white, and blue fun of your own. You could make an an American flag cake decorated with whipped cream, blueberries and strawberries. Or maybe color a picture of the American flag. Or make your own flag out of construction paper and paint! Whatever you do, make it fun, and be sure to tell us about it in the comments or share your posts on social media with the #RDDSummerChallenge hashtag!
