Happy Canada Day

By: Jenny K. Kids Country Club, DSW

Welcome to July 2020. The staff at both homes are truly missing our KCC Kids. I was thinking of the things I would love to share and do with the kids if we could magically have some time together. Here is a quick list of thoughts and ideas that I hope might bring a smile to you as we mark Canada Day and the start of our summer.

THE BEAVER: Canada’s National Animal

I have been studying the BEAVER; Canada’s national animal. I found some interesting facts, DID YOU KNOW???

🤔 Canada is home to the largest Beaver Dam in the world? It is located in WOOD BUFFALO National Park in Northern Alberta.

🤔 The Beaver almost became extinct during the early settlement of Canada during the fur trade era. Now, the Beaver lives in EVERY Province of Canada and many parts of the United States.

🤔 A beaver’s front teeth are RED and not WHITE because it has a lot of IRON in the enamel to make them strong enough to chew down trees, to build their homes called DAMS.

As I share these interesting facts with the kids I imagine them enjoying some playtime in water and perhaps blowing some bubbles.

😅SOMETHING A LITTLE FUNNY😅

Here are a couple of jokes you might enjoy!

Q. What did the Beaver say to the tree as he was heading home??

A. It was nice GNAWING you

Q. What did the lake say to the kids on the beach??

A. Nothing, it just WAVED

🖍 SOMETHING TO DO 🎨

Here is one link, in particular, I really like. The posters they provide are fun, easy to print, and free. These are all great things when looking for something to enjoy and do with those kids of ours that are creative and love to colour.
