Buy Canadian First - Your destination for good shopping

We are coming up on a Canadian-made time of year that all our kiddos look forward to - March Break! Different provinces have different schedules, but they all have one thing in common: taking a week-long school break sometime in March. It's the perfect time for a week-long camping trip or even just fun activities at home. Everyone looks forward to this time of year. We're staying at home for the week, so we've come up with some great Canadian-made ideas for everyone to enjoy.

 

With the mild Winter we've been having and Spring just around the corner, March Break is the perfect time to dig the bikes out of the garage, shed or basement and dust them off. To make bike riding even more fun (and safe!), check out these helmet covers from Buy Canadian First member Tail Wags. My boys each have a Tail Wags helmet cover and they love to show them off to friends and make games out of pretending to be the animal. Playing "Let's Pretend" with their Tail Wags, on or off their bikes, will make a fantastic daily activity during the break and provide great exercise, too!

Another outdoor activity we'll be doing is practicing our throwing, catching and hitting for the upcoming T-ball season. We just finished hockey this past weekend and the boys are already looking forward to their next league sport. Buy Canadian First member Sam Bat makes sure kids hit like a pro with their Little League Approved models.

 

For snow days, rain days and everything in-between days, we'll be playing some board games. My guys are just old enough to start showing some interest in board games. Board games are perfect for practicing our numbers, letters, colours and communication skills. Buy Canadian First member Gladius has a favourite from everyone's childhood - Snakes and Ladders. This must-have game is lots of fun for every age!

I can't wait to spend a fun week with my guys! How will you be spending March Break?
