5 For Friday Freebies and a Petroglyph Family Friendly Field Trip (Panama)


1. Petroglyphs!

This last week we went on a fun field 

trip to Nancito, Panama and other 

hidden but local petroglyph sites - The 

kids had loads of fun!  Petroglyphs in

Panama are a common occurrence

Anthropologists don't exactly understand 

their meaning but some have a 

lunar/solar calendar significance.  Others

appear to be types of road signs to 

passing travelers...






















We set up a petroglyph station after our

field trips where the kids... 


a: found a soft rock & cleaned it at a

washing station


b: carved a petroglyph style design 

that they learned about or just 

something unique...


c. colored it with chalk pastels!




Eating Healthy local 
Fruit! 
 Finally to end a wonderful day we 
enjoyed our local fruits and learned 
about all the health benefits...

  2. I'm downloading your Shofar craftivity! Although we are Roman Catholic, my husband's family is Jewish so we try to commemorate their holidays in a special way to remember our ancestors. L'Shana Tovah to you and your family!

    Visiting from Make My Saturday Sweet! I'd love for you to come and share all of these goodies at my weekly Pinterest Party - http://www.adventureswithjude.com/search/label/Sunday%20Sharing
