LEARN: How to be a Climate Hero (Video) 

Motivated by environmental education for kids, Climate Heroes engages children about our beloved natural world! Inspired by the family-friendly Cimate Heroes curriculum, we hope to teach our youth to value the importance of the health of our shared planet through fun learning – we are bringing this introduction to you and your children at home so they can make their way towards becoming nature's very own Climate Heroes! Watch the video below, then click here to learn even more!

SHARE: Mother's Day activities for the whole family

Share the power of play this LYP season, with your family or on your own! With this wonderfully engaging Studio Ludo playpack, let's keep our awesome kids playing while social-distancing. In honor of Love Your Park @ Home, Studio Ludo developed these Mother's Day activity sheets for kids and families to enjoy and celebrate moms (the best play-mates of all time)! Share the love with others by donating a play pack to a Philly family in need. #SpreadTheJoyNotTheVirus

DO: A mini-yoga class with Fairmount Park Conservancy

Fairmount Park Conservancy will welcome everyone to Love Your Park @ Home and offer a short hike to a special treehouse in the park for an inspiring, beginner friendly mini yoga class led by Lauren Daddis.
