A Message From Lindsay

Our coloring page section is one of the most popular areas of Activity Village, and we have really gone to town this week - adding new coloring pages for Diwali, Thanksgiving and Bonfire Night. I hope you enjoy them! If you scroll down to "What's New" below, you'll see that Sarah and her boys have also been busy this week with lots more exciting Halloween crafts to tempt you to raid the craft cupboard and get making with your kids! And don't forget to check out my Web Picks in the column on the right...

Goal Setting For Kids
Ever thought about Goal Setting for Kids? Goal setting is one of the most important skills that a person can learn, and the earlier this skill is learned, the more chances there are for successful outcomes in a person’s life. Adults know that goal setting is all about planning, making progress with that plan and reaching final goals or achievements. Once a child learns how to do this, they can use this tool for more success in school and at home.

Goal setting for kids will help your children to do well on their school tests and in activities such as sports, music programs or outside academic or arts programs - even at home, and with their personal finances. Teaching your child how to be a goal setter will give them a sense that they are capable of whatever they want to do. That’s valuable!

To learn more about Goal Setting for Kids, go to 4lifehappykids.com.

Something To Think About..

A Poem To Enjoy

If I can help somebody, as I pass along,
If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song,
If I can show somebody he is travelling wrong,
Then my living shall not be in vain.
Alma B. Androzzo
