Dear Panda Families,
Summer break is here — a time for rest, adventure, and creating memories that last a lifetime. While technology certainly has its place, this season presents a golden opportunity to encourage our children to unplug and reconnect with the world around them.
Let’s make this the summer where we invite our kids to swap screens for sunshine! ☀️
From building backyard forts and creating chalk masterpieces on the sidewalk, to riding bikes through the neighborhood or simply imagining new worlds under a shady tree — creative, unstructured play helps children grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy.
🌈 Ideas for Screen-Free Summer Fun:
Create a backyard obstacle course
Collect and paint rocks or make nature collages
Have a family picnic in the park
Host a community clean-up
Try “no electricity” nights — board games, flashlight tag, or story time
Start a summer journal
These simple, joyful experiences often become a child’s favorite memories — not because they were elaborate or expensive, but because they were real.
Here’s to a season full of sunshine, smiles, and meaningful moments!
