November’s Switzerland Adventure Theme Is: Courage
Close your eyes and picture yourself whisking alongside JD, Myah, and Evey to a place with magnificent magical mountains, rolling hills of flowers, and chalets that seem to float in the sky.
In this adventure, children will learn about Switzerland and Frances Tophill, a horticulturist and gardening television presenter. So grab your green thumb and trowel because we will be digging into lots of fun topics and projects—including Frances’ courage!
Boxes will begin to ship November 6th and additional fun will release later in the month.Â
Meet the Explorers!
Discover alongside your fellow explorers as you learn about other adventurers, play games, complete activities, write stories and more!
JD
JD revs up just as fast as his dirt bike, and those around him don’t always appreciate his intensity. When his temper is tame, JD rocks out as the life of the party. But he would rather be at home, curled up with a comic book and a puppy, if only his parents weren’t allergic.
Evey
Evey doesn’t mind it when people call her an herb-whisperer or tree-hugger. In fact, she’s more comfortable with plants – and her parakeet, Pompey – than she is with her peers. Evey spends her days looking outside and digging into the past, but her biggest discovery will be the bravery and self-worth that’s hiding inside her.
Myah
Myah is as mellow as the aqua waters of a Caribbean sea, and you can find tropical flavors in the junior chef’s famous pineapple jerk chicken recipe. When she’s not in the kitchen, Maya is scuba diving with sea turtles, starfish, and other ocean creatures. Both her friends and her axolotl, Tito, love to bask in the warmth of Maya’s patient personality.
Parker
Parker has never seen a road not taken. She’s always blazing new trails or relaxing beside favorite fishing holes with her rabbit, Clausse, by her side. Parker may seem tough and feisty, but there’s more to this nature-loving kid than meets the eye.
Dean
Dean wants to go up, up, up—to shoot beyond the worries of his world. His thoughts drift to stars and galaxies by day, and by night he explores alien planets in his dreams. While Dean hasn’t found a rocket able to launch him just yet, he climbs rock walls to get as far away from his anxiety as gravity allows.
I’m Kristin, the mother, psychologist, and adventurer behind Be Ready Explorers.
I have been working with children, families, educators and other clinicians for over twenty years. I have a private practice, Positive Pathways LLC, and started Paratus a little over a year ago, where I research and share online resources and information around being ready.Â
I wanted something my children and I could do together. A multi-faceted resource wrapped into one dynamic science-backed offering. A resource that created opportunity for children to be curious and ready to take in people and ideas. I wanted something that could help children see and feel ready for life’s adventure moments — hello Be Ready Explorers!
