Summer is just around the corner!
(for some of you it may be sooner--lucky ducks!)
Summer is a time for kids (parents + teachers) to relax
but towards the end I'm sure we're all ready to head back
to the place of learning.
To help keep your child from saying the B word (bored...get your
mind out of the gutter!)
Here are a few fun activities you can do with them!
1. Sign them up for summer camp! Did you know they have DAY camps during the summer that your child can attend? It's usually cheaper than regular day care and you can usually pick out the weeks that your child attends.
2. Have a family service day! Seriously what better way to give back to your community and feel peace and love in your heart at the same time? There are so many organizations out there that would love your help and friendly face.
3. Have a water day! This may not be the cheapest option but your family will have so much fun playing in the water together.
4. Splash Pads! Seriously, splash pads are amazing and they are EVERYWHERE! Your best bet would be to Google your town's best ones or ask on social media.
5. Go on a picnic! When you go on a picnic with your family there are bound to be memories made.
6. Host a bonfire! Again, not the cheapest idea but you'll be able to bond with your family and your friends (if you decide to invite them).
7. Go to a movie night! Check to see if your local movie theater has cheap movie nights during the summer.
8. Go camping! Who doesn't love camping? You'll get to be in nature, away from the technology and craziness of the world and bond with your family.
9. Go visit relatives. Seriously, go on a weekend or overnight trip and visit some relatives you have not seen in a while.
10. Plant a garden. While this one isn't the most common thing to do as a family, it sure will bring a lot of joy and fun, especially when you get to harvest what you planted with your loved ones.
Whatever you decide to do just make sure you are having fun, you're safe, and you're creating memories--I promise you won't regret it.
