  3. Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and scoop into the bag. Cut the corner of the bag.
  4. Squeeze small dots of chocolate onto the strawberries.

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!
