🎬 The Pout-Pout Fish Movie vs. Finding Nemo

If your kids love ocean adventures, chances are you’ve come across both Finding Nemo and  The Pout-Pout Fish book (and now movie based on said beloved children’s book). While both stories take place under the sea and feature unforgettable fishy characters, they offer very different experiences for kids and families. Let’s dive into what makes them similar and what sets them oceans apart. 🐠 The Big Picture: Story & Themes 🌟 Finding Nemo Finding Nemo, set in the South Pacific Ocean around the Great Barrier Reef, tells the story of Marlin, a cautious clownfish, searching the entire ocean for his son Nemo.

Calling All Future Olympians!

Olympic Cloud by Taku Satoh
The long awaited Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games are about to kick off in Japan on Friday, July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021! Even though we can't all be there, we can all get involved (not just by watching TV); with the kids, at home or at a free park or city pool etc. Here are some of the Summer Olympic games you can play with your little ones at home or on the go:

1. Athletics. This one is my favorite (and not just because I was born in the country of the world's fastest athletes.) There are so many athleyc sports to get the entire family up and involved at home - like a quick sprint to see who's fastest or a mini long distance run to see who can run the longest without stopping. For team building you can try out relay racing with an empty paper towel roll or long plastic spoon ad the baton. And the list goes on...

2. Basketball. You can shoot hoops at home or at a park! If you don't have a basketball hoop you can crumple paper and shoot paper balls in a waste bin, you can shoot dryer balls or rolled up socks into a laundry basket. 

3. Cycling. Put those bicycles and tricycles to the test to see whose fastest. (Be sure to gear up in your protective wear like helmets, knee and elbow pads like a true Olympian would!)

4. Swimming. Get out your Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)! Be sure to start your race in the shallow end of the pool or beach and swim the width and not the length to avoid venturing out into the deep. Or

4. Soccer. If you prefer to stay on solid ground, grab a ball and get to kicking! You can create goal posts from almost anything! Let your imagination lead you to fun!

What summer sport are you looking forward to playing with your family?
