Screen-Free Family Fun Night: Reach and Teach with Shaping Youth

Shaping Youth and Reach and Teach are teaming to host eco-games, read alouds, crafts, and family fun on Tuesday May 1st to celebrate a Screen Free Week without electronic entertainment media. (yes it can be done!)

A new study shows nearly half of pre-schoolers are not playing outside in a screen saturated environment where smartphones are play toys, parents are doing the ‘pass back’ in the car seats and tablets and apps offer copious quantities of creative engagement just a swish and tap away.

Drop in anytime between 6:30pm and 8:30pm on May 1st for this FREE family fun fest as part of Screen Free Week brimming with ideas, kids activities and imaginative play far beyond the screen!
