Have you been on an adventure?
Most likely, you have!
How would you like to WIN A TRIP TO ICELAND and add THAT to your list of adventures?!
Jenny Ingram from Jenny On The Spot recently went on an adventure to Iceland for Kids Activities Blog and will be sharing all about the trip in an upcoming post. However, if you follow us on Instagram you may have noticed a few photos from that trip. Check out the #AdventureStartsWithMe hashtag on Instagram for a bunch of amazing pictures from the group of bloggers who went to Icleland.
Why The Hashtag?
We visited Iceland as guests of Animal Jam and Visit Iceland. Why would an online game for kids want to drag a bunch of bloggers to one of the most remote parts of Iceland? Have you heard the phrase “If I can see it, I can be it”? In short, if your kids see you take on new experiences and that YOU are constantly learning new things, they will do the same. Thus the #AdventureStartsWithMe hashtag.
Whether you are planning a trip to the zoo, a hike in the mountains, a trip overseas, or settling down with a good book, you are showing your kids the stuff that makes up an adventurous, curious life.
In fact, we’d love you to join in on the hashtag. Let us know what you are doing with your kids to inspire adventure and a love of the world around them by adding your photos to the #AdventureStartsWithMe hashtag on Instagram. We’d love to see them!
Why Animal Jam?
If you are familiar with Animal Jam you know that they are an online game for kids. Their passion is STEM education and inspiring kids to learn within the game and offline too.
Why Iceland?
Well, that’s pretty easy. It’s Iceland. It’s FULL of adventure, beauty, and an unplugged other-wordly environment. You can learn more about Iceland and the adventures you can experience HERE.
