How to?
1) Bring camera & few kids to park
2) After time on the swings and slides and a few rounds of crazy golf ~ have your kids 'find' letters in the alphabet around the park.
3) Photograph their finds
4) Upload & crop
notes
Activity is best for kids ages 5-12, the younger they are the more mom input will be needed!
This took myself and 3 kids about 40 minutes to do, if time is pressed you can cheat and 'make' the letters - in sand, with shadows, leaves etc.

I hate to keep on mentioning it, 'marketing' does not sit well with me, but if I don't tell you how can you know?
So....

hi there,
ReplyDeletejust discovered your blog! what a coincidence I just did a similar post with photos of my walk in the park yesterday (the sun came out and I had to run and make the most of it!) It was my treat though whilst some-one looked after my youngest and I really enjoyed it!
Your blog looks great and I'm off to have a good look now.
Don't worry about 'marketing' - I guess if you have something good to share then it's great to let people know about it!

What a great idea. I have seen signs made of photos in this manner . . . why didn't I ever think of making my own?
ReplyDeleteNot sure I can wait for the kids on this one . . .
Great and fun idea!!!! A project that Chaz and I will do as soon as it warms up a bit...LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHEY...it's not marketing...it's a writer PROMOTING her book!!!!

What a great idea. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful idea! I bet you had fun while doing, it looks great... I will try to do a modified version with my daughter, maybe just a few letters at a time.
ReplyDeletelol...tell away...you should be very proud and spreading the word is not tacky at all...i love that idea...think i may have to do it over the weekend....take care and hvve a great weekend...xxx
ReplyDeleteWhen I was taking classes in photography this was one of our assignments. It was so that we would see beyond the obvious and really think outside the box. We were all way past 12 years old. It was a great learning exercise.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I found you through Texas Blogging Gals! I love this project idea. I've seen it on another blog too and it looks like SO MUCH FUN to put together. I'm going to have to try this! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI so love this idea...thanks for sharing. This will keep my 14yo daughter busy next time I hear she is bored. Your photos are wonderful.

what a great idea - can't wait to try it with my son, though I fear he may lose interest before we get all the way to z!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I will try it with my (super smart - am I allowed to say that!?) 4 year old the next time we go to the park. I love it, thank you, Kristin xo

ReplyDeleteHow fun, now you can use your nature letters to make up words.
