Sky: Children of the Light News

[p][/p][p]Happy Days of Bloom, Sky Kids![/p][p]Get ready to bask in the sunshine and frolic with friends in this year’s floral fête.[/p][p]From March 13th through April 2nd, visit Daylight Prairie and work with the rest of the Sky community to help the Sunflowers blossom and reach new heights. 
[/p][p][/p][p]A field of Sunflowers has sprung up on the hill surrounding Daylight Prairie's Temple! When you arrive, speak to the Bloom Quest Giver to learn a new skill -- how to water the flowers.[/p][p]From March 13th to 29th, work together with other Sky Kids to weed and water the flower seedlings to help them grow. Each one will grow to new heights, depending on how many times they've been cared for throughout the event. [/p][p]During the final four days of the event, the Bloom Quest Giver will have a new lesson on how to harvest a bounty from the flowers you’ve been nurturing. Bring this seed light to the Quest Giver in exchange for Event Tickets and Light![/p][p]
[/p][p]Up to five of these adorable Event Tickets can be gathered each day through various event activities such as watering plants, from the light creature swimming in the pond, planting a special Message Sunflower up to once per day starting on March 16th, and by turning in seed light to the event spirit. An additional 15 Event Tickets can be found scattered around the Prairie Village area as one-time pickups. [/p][p]
[/p][p]When you’re finished caring for the Sunflowers, make sure to spend some time relaxing and caring for yourself as well! [/p][p]Collect Light while playing instruments with Laughing Light Catcher, take a refreshing swim in the pond, or simply sit with spirits and friends for a while to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As you explore the event area, you’ll find a shop area near the temple where you can find a delightful array of new and returning items. [/p][p]New items for this year’s Days of Bloom include three cosmetics and a few dye options available in exchange for Event Tickets, a furniture shop where you can exchange regular candles and hearts for floral-themed furniture, and of course the regular IAP shop menu where you can purchase:[/p][p][/p]
