Sports are such an important part of life. They teach camaraderie, teamwork, and fun. Sports get kids outside and unplugged and keep them fit and healthy. Sports Day falls on August 1st, Basketball Day is November 6th, and Home Run Day is on April 23rd. And of course, football season opens in late August and really picks up speed in September. We are surrounded by sports and we love them! Sit down with the kids and browse through the pages and pages of sports crafts and recipes we have to offer, pick a few favorites and get creative!
