Summer Bucket List

Summertime.
The long awaited time of the year every kid longs for, but when it arrives they have no idea how to spend their time. How early in the summer do we hear the words, “I’m bored.” Am I the only Mom who has heard those dreaded words on the first day of summer vacation?

This summer is your time to be prepared. Head off the boredom complaints by printing and posting this Summer Bucket List on your refrigerator. I’ve included a variety of activities including outside play, indoor activities, things to do alone, things to do with friends and things to do together as a family.

Your challenge to your kids will be…

How many Summer Bucket List items can you complete?

Enjoy the summer!
