Leave No Child Inside Summit ’08 Notes: Puppets
October 15, 2008Must-read article – new study backs up LNCI principles
October 18, 2008Coming Soon to a Vacant Lot Near You: A Pile of Dirt. A Barrel of Water. A Bunch of Sticks.
(For those who didn’t attend, our keynote speaker, Ken Finch, told a story of passing a playground before, during and after renovation. Before and after, a handful of kids occasionally played on the playground structures. During the renovation, when there was a big pile of dirt, dozens of kids played for hours each day, riding bikes over the mound, digging in the dirt, etc.)
