Coursing Around Review & Giveaway

Summer is coming and I am always looking for ways to get my kids off the sofa and outside playing. One of the things that all kids love to play with is sidewalk chalk. I know my kids can cover the whole neighborhood in artwork whenever they get a box. But there is more to chalk than you may realize. It can encourage physical activity and even be educational. If you don't believe me, just check out the amazing book, Coursing Around by Debbie Tougas.

Coursing Around is a fun book that is all about the exciting ways your kids can have with sidewalk chalk. The book includes instructions on how to create fifteen different activity courses. Kids will love drawing their own courses and inviting friends to join in. All the neighborhood kids will want to hop, skip and draw with Coursing Around. The instructions are simple to follow, and children ages four and up should be able to complete the courses with little to no help from adults. It will provide hours of fun, and once it gets washed away, they can start all over again. The book comes complete with two jumbo pieces of chalk and a ruler to help create your courses.
