Trains are pretty amazing machines don't you think? Paco had a great time at the train park this week. He saw lots of different trains but his favorite was the Old Steam Train. "CHOO CHOO".  Do you have a train park where you live? 

You don't have to have a train park to do Paco's latest activity, you just have to know your math! Download his Choo Choo Math worksheet and see how many cars you can complete. Good luck. 

Paco is at it again: out and about exploring nature! This time it was in Zion National Park.  National Parks and State Parks are great places to explore. Have you ever visited any near your home? Even if you don't have National or State Parks near you, any park, like city parks and neighborhood parks, are great places to explore. 

Paco is sharing his Nature Trail Scavenger Hunt this week. Just print the activity sheet below and then head outside! Find a nice trail or path to explore and get hunting. How many of these fun items do you think you can find? 

Paco was feeling pretty silly this week! Did you get his postcard? He showed off his latest trick, a handstand (or maybe it's a wing stand?). If you've never done a handstand you can get some good practice starting with your head, doing a head-stand! Trying a headstand up against a wall will help you with your balance. Have you ever tried one?

This week Paco made a fun activity that makes you use your head in two ways:
1. As part of the game board.
2. For guessing and giving clues!

Carousel's aren't just fun rides to spin us round and round, they can also be incredible works of art!

He followed the steps in the YouTube video from Drawing for Kids to create his masterpiece. Just click on the video below and follow along to create your own carousel. 

​What colors will you choose? Happy drawing.  

Have you ever done what Paco did this week? You'll have to see his postcard to know what trick it was, but it sure was a fantastic site to see. His little sister taught him well. Paco's special trick was done on a brand new pair of something super fun.

Horses are such amazing animals. They can be great workers and calming companions! Paco paired up with a gentle horse named Clyde this week and they had a very special day together. Have you ever ridden a horse? There are many different styles of riding. From the laidback style of a cruisin' Cowboy to the proper postures of equestrian competitions, there is a little something for everyone. Just like in Paco's latest recipe: Cowboy Caviar, there's a little something for everyone.

Round up all the nutritious ingredients listed in the recipe below and get your cowboy appetite ready. This simple snack is sure to have you hollerin' for more!  Let Paco know if you like his Cowboy Caviar in the comments below.  Enjoy, partners!

Paco was lucky enough to have a great kite flying day this week. He is really enjoying the spring weather. How is the weather where you live? When Paco wants to fly a kite and the weather is not cooperating, you know what he does? He DRAWS a kite!

There are so many amazing things to find by the sea. Boats, birds, shells, and ships, just to name a few! Another very special sight you might see by the sea is a lighthouse. Paco saw an incredible lighthouse this week. Have you ever seen one? At night, when the sky is dark, a bright light from a lighthouse can be seen for miles.

For a little seaside fun of your own, check out Paco's latest Read and Find: Nautical Edition.  How many lighthouses do you see?

Paco had some fun this week learning about robots and robotic engineers! He has a long way to go before his robot will walk but he loves the challenge. Do you love a good challenge to? Get your thinking cap on and join in on the Robot fun with Paco's Paper Robots! He has several different patterns for you to try.

Think like an engineer and take your time to focus on each step. It might take you a  few tries to get it right but don't let that stop you! Remember one of Paco's favorite words: perseverance. You can do it, if you put your mind to it. Have fun. 

Do you know what makes a movie night even more spectacular? Watching the movie outdoors and setting up a popcorn bar. That is just what Paco did this week. He sure knows how to  have a good time!
