May Edition
Strawberry Ladybugs
Ingredients:
Strawberries
Blueberries
Dark chocolate chips

- Cut strawberries in half lengthwise.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and scoop into the bag. Cut the corner of the bag.
- Squeeze small dots of chocolate onto the strawberries.
- Use chocolate to attach the blueberry “head.” Allow chocolate to harden.

Penny Walk –
Take a “Penny Walk” with your family over the next month! Get outside and take a “penny walk” to see everything that is springing to life! “Penny Walks” help youth explore new surroundings and get physical exercise at the same time.
Supplies –
- Penny
- Paper and pen for scavenger hunt list
Activity Steps –
- Step outside and walk until you reach an intersection in your path.
- Flip your penny. If it lands on heads, then turn right and continue walking. If it lands on tails, turn left.
- To make the penny walk more challenging, create a scavenger hunt list with objects you might find outside. Look for these items while you’re on your penny walk!
