Strider Bikes staff do some product testing! Fun!
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
The Strider Bikes staff take a few ‘mildly modified’ Strider PREbike balance bikes running some of the downhill mountain bike trails on M Hill in Rapid City, SD. The video definitely shows how durable the frame is when a bunch of grown men can come down through this rough terrain and even land some jumps on the footrests. Enjoy the video…
You can see their full post on the Strider website here (http://www NULL.stridersports NULL.com/blog/rippin-the-m-strider-sports-staff-do-some-product-testing/).
Wednesday Morning Story Time: For Just One Day
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
Wednesday Morning Story Time is happening tomorrow…We’re going to read For Just One Day by Laura Leuck. This story was such a hit with the little ones that we are presenting it again for their listening pleasure!
For just one day, I’d like to be a busy, buzzing bumble…BEE!
What child hasn’t pretended to be a monkey, a bear, or a bumblebee? After imagining the fun of being a variety of animals from around the world, a sweet ending—and an attached mirror—remind little ones that the very best thing they can be is exactly who they are.
Laura Leuck is the author of several popular books, including Jeepers Creepers: A Monstrous ABC, Santa Claws, and My Monster Mama Loves Me So. She lives in Florida. Marc Boutavant is an illustrator, graphic artist, and comic strip author. He lives in Paris.
You can find For Just One Day (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/rain35 NULL.html) on our web store (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/rain35 NULL.html).
