Any suggestions for afterschool activities

Well, their is agriculture classes that deal with animals. Cause i love animals to but i have animals at home. Like i said Agriculture is the only thing....

Our next door neighbor has a lovely dog but is unable to walk him on a regular basis. My 7 year old son would regularly go over and play/sit with the dog and one day we thought.....why don't we walk their dog for them? WE benefit, the dog benefits, the people unable to walk their own dog benefits. If you have neighbors with animals with which they cannot spend a lot of quality time, it would be a perfect opportunity.

Also........a lot of my son's friends were afraid of insects so I tried to educate them (overcoming my own previous fear of them) that even the ugliest bug, such as the June Bug ( is just a cute bug inside) haha and we catch them, play with them and release them. You can have your daughter and friends find bugs that you can examine and release....start a book/journal and record what bugs you find, what they look like (take digital pics even . . do it on the computer) and make a journal of all the wonderful, amazing critters out there. Steve Irwin was a hero...and I'm so happy to hear that there are children out there who share his love of all creatures.

The quick and easy way is to volunteer at your local animal shelter. Also, if you like horses, they need to be exercised; some of the equestrian schools need people to help with this.

There might be a riding stable near you. The ones in my area will let your child come and clean stalls, groom, and feed in exchange for free riding lessons. It might be a great trade-off. It helps teach responsibility because you have to show up every day.
