JULY 5th is National Bikini Day!
Of COURSE you can choose to make it Bikini Day any day you choose.
Food ideas:
Pancakes, waffles & toast can all be cut into triangles & placed on the plates to look like bikinis! Cheese, sliced deli meats & pita breads all could too! What about two fried eggs for the top & bacon strips made into the bottoms! Or just bikini briefs for the men in your life, this is all in the name of fun!
Craft ideas:
Using what’s available in your house or you may need to get a few things from the store.
Paper, pencils, crayons, markers, stickers, paint or pastels. Cut out triangles of all shapes & sizes, add any size & shape ribbons for the ties. Cut out the same from fabrics. Use this template to make paper doll chains, decorate each one with a different bikini!
Book ideas:
Already on your shelf, get it from the library or borrow it from a friend.
Classroom ideas:
This section will be back in September xo
Mindful Minutes:
Time spent together doing something that acknowledges the day.
Talk to your child about summer time comfort in bathing suits. What feels best on their bodies, not only in shape & size but in colour & patterns? As parents we are looking for protection & suitability for the adventures they need them for, it’s a great time to actually have them think about bathing suits as another form of personal expression. Do they feel cooler & more free in a bikini? Or in bikini briefs only? Or does being in a full piece in full floral have them feel more comfortable. It’s fun to ask & to see what would really have them feel their best.
Doing fun things with our children creates a deeper connection with them.
With deeper connection we create opportunities to talk, to laugh & to be seen experiencing joy, which is so important! Love, Stacey
