Activity Village News
16th March 2009
A Message From Lindsay
This newsletter is coming out a little late - or a little early,
depending on which way you look at it! But given the fact that it is St
Patrick's Day tomorrow and Mother's Day on Sunday and we have some great
new activities for both, it seemed like the right thing to do. In
particular I wanted to make sure that UK visitors had time to try out
our latest Mother's Day / Gifts Kids Can Make crafts: we think that
Sarah and the boys really excelled themselves with the silhouettes and
"cameo brooches", which are sure to become some of Activity Village's
favourite crafts.
Coming up soon:
17th March - St Patrick's Day
22nd March - Mother's Day (UK)
12th April - Easter
21st April - 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne
22nd April - Earth Day
23rd April - St George's Day
What's New At Activity Village?
We've added 5 really cute new colouring pages for St Patrick's Day - taking the
total for this holiday to nearly 30 pages...

Something To Read..
Children Learn What They Live
by Denis Waitley
An ancient Chinese proverb tells us, "A child's life is like a piece
of paper on which every passerby leaves a mark." We cannot teach our
children self-esteem. We can only help them discover it within
themselves by adding positive marks and strokes on their slates. All
positive motivation is rooted in self-esteem – the development of which,
just as with other skills takes practice. Think of self-esteem as a
four-legged chair.
A Sense of Belonging: The first leg of self-esteem is a sense of
belonging. We all have a deep-seated need to feel we're part of
something larger than ourselves. This need, which psychologists call an
affiliation drive, encompasses people, places and possessions. Our
instinct for belonging – for being wanted, accepted, enjoyed, and loved
by close ones – is extremely powerful. It explains the bond of an
extended family, friends, and teammates. It also explains why some
adolescents join gangs. They want to belong, even if it's wrong.

An Old Irish Blessing
May love and laughter light your days,
And warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
Wherever you may roam.

With joy that long endures.

Bring the best to you and yours.
