. Holiday Book is your kid's best companion during vacation time.
Reminders;
* Your child should READ DAILY QUIETLY AND ORALLY
CHECK this blog regularly for suggestions and updates.
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.
14. Go fishing.
15. Camp in your back yard.
16. Plant a garden using seeds from your vegetables/fruits.
17. Tour local historic sites.
18. Teach the kids to knit.
19. Make a doll.
21. Tour a factory.
22. Gather friends and have a “clean” the park day – celebrate your good deed with a picnic and play time.
23. Check your newpaper for local summer festivals.
24. Color.
25. Write your own poems.
26. “Play” school.

Most importantly remember the simplicity of childhood is found in the quality of the time spent together – enjoy each moment, create an environment of joy and excitement, learning and fun and I am certain this summer will be one we all remember for a very long time.
