Our Town

Saturday today and a perfect opportunity for a town stroll. The girls and I love to walk around our town and explore little corners that we have never seen before. Little shops, narrow roads, interesting buildings and nice, happy people. That's how our town is like! How about yours?

After your walk, use this worksheet to teach your children some types of buildings. Also, why not? You may want to visit  these individually next time. :)

Find Our Town puzzle on our shop. If you opt for the digital copy, you could print this twice, laminate both copies and then cut around the buildings from one of the copies, get some blue tack and start sticking on the other one! The hard copy comes in glossy paper with velcro attached on the buildings. Both reusable and fun!
