November Fun
Happy November, ScribbleFriends! Fall is my favorite time of year. I love playing outside, watching the changing color of the leaves, and everyone seems to slow down just a bit. Here’s something you can do with your friends in the beautiful outdoors of autumn; go on a leaf scavenger hunt! My friends and I came […]
October Fun
Happy October, ScribbleFriends! I just read that most pumpkins are orange, but they can also be white, yellow, red, green and even blue! Pumpkins have seeds, so they’re really a fruit, but we usually call them a vegetable. In most cases, “vegetables” are the leaves, stems, flowers, or roots of a plant. In some cases […]
September Fun
Happy September, ScribbleFriends! This week my friends and I have been playing SPUD. Have you ever played SPUD? All you need is a playground ball, a place to run around, and your friends. All the players pick a different color to be their name, then everyone gathers together while one player in the middle of […]
August Fun
Happy August, ScribbleFriends! Are you bored? Then hop aboard our Boardfest! My friends and I have spiced things up this week with a special board game festival. We’ve been taking turns picking our favorite game to play each afternoon for the last week. What a blast! I got to pick first and chose The Game […]

July Fun
Happy July, ScribbleFriends! My favorite fireworks are here! Lightning bugs. Some people call them fireflies, but they really aren’t bugs or flies. Lightning bugs are actually a member of the beetle family and there are more than 125 different species of lightning bugs in North America. Each species has their own secret code. So when […]
June Fun
Happy June, ScribbleFriends! This school year has been so much fun. It’s hard to believe that another year is over. It is always nice to say thank you, but teachers are especially deserving of our thanks. Their job is an important one and sometimes we forget how much they do for us. I just finished […]
Play Every Day
Some collaborative creative play is hard to beat. Let’s compare calendars (Playdates page) and find a date when we can share some creative musical playtime this summer! Play is important. Play is creating. Play is work. Play is learning. Play is fun – especially with friends. I hope to play with you sometime this summer! […]
May Fun
Happy May, ScribbleFriends! Did you know that the average American child spends more time in front of a screen than any other activity (besides sleeping) each year? We spend more time in front of a TV than we do in school! Did you also know that research has shown our brains turn-off when we’re watching TV? Regardless of […]
Extra! Extra!
Thanks to the Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle for, ah, chronicling, what my pal Wimee and I have been up to – making LIVE interactive television with our audience on WGVU TV. We’ve been working (aka – playing) hard to make a traditionally passive medium a community sandbox for creative play. This article is a comprehensive record of […]
