Here comes the sun!

Hi friends, it's Percy! Spring is here, and we're getting closer to summer every day. I love sunny days; how about you? On bright spring days, I like to take walks and see how many different birds I can count. Here in Ohio, we have lots of colorful birds, like red cardinals, blue jays, and shiny black grackles. A bird that is yellow like the sun is called a gold finch! I hope you're able to go outside and enjoy some sunshine this month. And don't forget your shades!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: When playing outside, it's important to protect your skin. The experts at Nationwide Children's Hospital offer tips on how to fend off sunburn while still enjoying the great outdoors.

Percy's making...

Sunshine and grass!

Why? Because Percy loves to practice using scissors! Safety scissors are fun to use, and this cool craft from Books and Giggles offers lots of cutting. All you need are a few sheets of construction paper, glue, and, of course scissors!
