Straw Exploration By Girl Tyler

very kid wants to be smart and fast at every game. You can do both. The best way to make your brain smarter and faster is to find ways to challenge yourself. Put your thinking skills to the test. The A-MAZE-ing Straw Exploration is a game where you get to make up the rules!
Here’s what you’ll need: • • • •
A large box Milkshake straws (regular straws work too) A marble or small ball A glue gun
Instructions: Use a pencil to draw lines for a maze inside the box. (Make sure you are able to follow the pattern from the top all the way to the bottom.) Cut the straws at different lengths then use the glue gun to glue them on top of the lines. Press down on each straw firmly to make sure they’re in place. Wait a few minutes for the straws to dry then playtime! Drop a ball inside of the box and gently shift it from side to side. Watch it work its way through the maze. Time yourself and see if you can get the ball all the way through in 60 seconds. Invite your friends or siblings to join you. Can they beat your time?

About
irls like to have fun, especially in the summertime. Summer is just the perfect time to do all sorts of silly and wild activities. You don’t have to get up early to go to school. The days seem extra long. Sometimes, your family may even take a vacation together during the summer months. Yup, summer can be absolutely awesome! You will probably have many activities that are planned by your family. But, it would also be crazy cool for you to explore some summertime ideas that you and your besties would love. Here are a few fun ideas that will help you to have a summer that you will smile about:

Run, Jump, Fly! Everybody has been stuck in the house for so long. This summer, get active! Our bodies LOVE when we get out and do something physical. Your Brown Sugar Box has two really fantastic things in it for having an active summer, a kite and a jump rope! So, this summer, get ready to move your body. Jump around! Run around! Go fly that kite! Now, that’s how you will have tons of summer smiles.
Have A Tent Party! Tent parties can be so special. Tents are usually small and cozy. This will make sharing the space with your friends even more amazing. So, what do you need to do for a Tent Party? Well, you need to decorate the tent. Prepare food or snacks that your besties will love. Make sure that you make everything look really pretty or fancy. Then, plan to sing songs and dance, watch movies, or play dress up and eat in the tent together. If you don’t have a tent, an adult can help you make a tent by using trees, a long roll of twine, and 2 sheets. Simply connect the string between two trees, poles, or even the corner of a fence. Lay one sheet on the ground. Place the other sheet over the string. Use rocks to hold the tent top down. Enjoy!
Have Fun With Some New Pool “Pals”! When it’s time for playing in the water, don’t forget to bring your dolls. They are going to be your new pool “pals”! You and your friends can make little pool floaties for your dolls so that they can join you in the water games. You will need one pool noodle. With the help of an adult, cut the pool noodle to make floaty swimming rings to put your doll in or create pool rafts for your doll to lay on in the water. You and your besties can use your imaginations to think up all kinds of fun stories and games with your pool “pals”. Oh, and don’t forget to pull out your Izzy and Liv swimsuit, because a pool princess must bring the cuteness.
What Does
By Saeeda Ruffin
t’s the hottest season of the year. It’s the perfect time for swimming and playing in water. Do you know the season that we are talking about? If you guessed summer, you are RIGHT!

Summer is such a great time of year. It is the time of year when you and your friends will usually have lots and lots of time to giggle, play, and just be kids. Some girls think that summer is the BEST SEASON of the year. Do you think that it’s the best season? We know that summer is a really awesome time of year. But, what does summer REALLY look like? Why don’t you draw a picture of what you think is the PERFECT SUMMER! Here are some ideas to create a picture perfect summer:

Look Like? Enjoy Tea Time This tea time is not like a winter tea party. Instead of hot tea, have iced tea. Don’t forget, it’s summertime. Instead of having regular pies, you and your besties can create little fruit “pies” using watermelon, shredded coconut, berries, white chocolate syrup, grapes, and any fruit that you like. Just have an adult help you cut the watermelon into small plate sized circles. Then, offer the other goodies to go on top to create a beautiful and delicious summer treat!
Summer Backyard Olympics Want to have an amazing time with your friends? How about hosting the Summer Backyard Olympics?! Yes, everyone will want to be a part of this sporty summer activity. It’s super easy to set up and you can expect to do a lot of giggling and sweating! To host the Olympics, all that you need are a few summer time toys such as beach balls, pool noodles, and jump ropes (like the one in your Izzy and Liv Brown Sugar Box). With an adult’s help, create different Olympic Activities such as Beach Ball Volleyball or Beach Ball Soccer, the long jump where stand in one spot and try to jump over a rope that is placed away from you, an actual jump rope contest to see who can jump the most times, or Pool Noodle Fencing! You can give the winner of each event a prize. An adult can help you with that, too!
Break Out The Books Reading is fun and it’s fundamental to learning new stuff. Go on a search for interesting books with fabulously fascinating characters that have a movie version of the same stories. You can find some at your local library, book store, or thrift store! Then, invite your friends over for a weekly Book Club. You can dress up like the characters and share the books that you read with each other. Then, watch the movie together. Compare the movie to the book! Was the movie the same as the book or different? Did the characters look like you thought? These are just a few ideas for having a phenomenal summer that you can do with your family or besties. Summer days are long. So, you will have plenty of time to try ALL of these activities out. Summer looks like great times with your family, besties, and your favorite foods! Summer really is funtastic!
