				Here are some sites to consider for more information, education, local activities, and just plain fun!



	Get outside and play is the idea behind the National Wildlife Federation’s newest promotion. Children used to spend hours outside every day - now those hours are spent in front of some sort of electronic device. NWF is encouraging parents to make sure their children get outside for at least one hour every day. For ideas of things to do and places to go, check out their site at www.greenhour.org

Our national organization, NAEYC, asked each of the major candidates in the upcoming national election (Republican or Democrat) the same question in order to determine what they stand for and say they will do on the important issues pertaining to early education. When you visit their site, you will also be able to link to the candidate's campaign web page so that you can read more about their positions.

Take the time to make sure you are well informed before voting in the election.


	If you and your child have not already discovered the beautifully written and illustrated books by Jan Brett, go immediately to the library or bookstore and check them out. Then visit her extraordinary website that offers you downloads, on-line games, cards to make and send and more: www.janbrett.com


	And for some fun and exciting science activities, visit the website of Steve Spangler. His ideas and experiments will help make your children think that science is all fun and games! He’s at: www.stevespangler.com

For information about choosing a child care center, tips for positive parenting, workshops and more, visit ACTION FOR CHILDREN at www.actionforchildren.org and consider joining their PARENT CENTRAL to help you stay informed!

Even if a trip to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium isn’t in your plans, there are fun activities for children on their website at www.colszoo.org

Check out COSI for always-interesting hands-on learning for adults and children and ever-changing, always-amazing special exhibits. Their on-line activities are more older child/adult oriented, but definitely worth checking out. Visit them on location or at www.cosi.org
