Summertime is a time to be out and about right? Last year I posted photos for you to find around our Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood and it spurred families to get out, explore and notice areas that you may not have noticed. So why not enjoy a scavenger hunt game on Delmar Loop?
If you like, take a photo of yourself with the clues and email to me so I can include them in the next Kids Corner. Be safe and have fun! 1. Find the building originally built to house Women’s Magazine and Women’s Farm Journal by Edward Gardner Lewis in 1903. 2. Walk of Fame: Find the American composer and pianist known as the “King of Ragtime”. 3. Find characters from the Flintstones, The Simpsons and Star Wars in this famous restaurant. 4. Take a ride on the Loop Trolley. 5. Walk of Fame: Find the person established with creating and opening the first public Kindergarten in the United States in 1873. 6. Your dog will love the flavors and shapes at this local shop. 7.
This outdoor location hosts fun bands in warmer months, local produce and goods. 8. Walk of Fame: She was born in St. Louis in 1916 and became “the pin-up girl” during World War II with a long career in Hollywood movies. 9.
This planet’s nickname is the Windiest Planet with winds at speeds of more than 1,200mph!
It is 4 times wider than earth (if earth were a large apple, this planet would be the size of a basketball!) hint: it is approximately 2.8 BILLION miles from the sun 10.
This legend’s statue knows how to ‘duck walk’. Can you imitate his moves?
Question for June Kids Corner: Tell us about your summer or better yet send a photo. Favorite adventure in St. Louis? Where did you go on vacation? Would you recommend it to other kids?
Please include your name and submit to kidscorner@sdtimes.org by August 10th!
This is YOUR corner, so make it what you want!
