THINGS to do with your kids this summer
1. Check out books that have IDEAS – give reason for further hands on study (activity).
2. STORY TIME – something about a different setting breaks up the routine for the kids, gives them something to look forward to.
3. Local Park – go early, pack a lunch, bring a drawing tablet, enjoy the outside before its too hot.
4. Take a field trip.
5. Visit a fire department.
6. Take a nature walk.. take along a journal, let the kids bring cameras, then go home, identify everything your photographed, create a nature book. That's a whole day's activities (paper, photos, glue, scissors, notebook) this is especially good saved for a rainy day.
7. Check out kids free days at your museums.
9. Cook with your kids but let them plan it, be apart of the shopping, table setting – make dessert!)
10. Host a cooking party – invite some friends (your kids aren't the only ones home and wanting something to do) – have each mom bring a few ingredients and spend the day making cookies, treats, etc. (maybe you know someone who could use some extra love and attention – make a whole meal with these friends, let the kids make cards, and go make someones day brighter and happier).
11. Do a sewing project together. Make a picnic or story time blanket, apron, or summer dress.
12. Make sock puppets – put on a puppet shows.
13. Go outside for reading time.

22. Gather friends and have a “clean” the park day – celebrate your good deed with a picnic and play time.
