This mom had made up a list of 60 activites her kids could do to curb the boredom of summer. She printed them all up, and posted them in a picture frame on her wall. Since the frame has glass in the front, she would just check off the activites as her kids did them with a dry erase marker! How cool is that?
Now, even though Maddie doesn't acutally tell me she's "bored", I thought this idea would help me keep my sanity during the summer. I tweaked the list , since her list was made for teenagers, and came up with 60 ideas that would be age-appropriate for Mads. My goal is to blog about each activity, and eventually turn it in to a mini scrapbook. I though this would be a great way to remember some of the things we do this summer.
Here is a peek of a few of the items on my list......go to the dinosaur park, camp in a tent, design a shirt, make a pizza, make popsicles, go to a firework show, have a sidewalk chalk day, blow bubbles, try a new park, go to the zoo, you get the idea. Even though some of the ideas are simple, it really helps to have ideas written down, and then just pick one of them when the "boring times" hit.
that's a great idea! i'm so looking forward to this summer to just enjoy time with the kiddos. Summer is the best!
ReplyDeleteOh, you can add to your list play-date at my house next week.. I just e-mailed you- ha! =)
That is a fun idea Sam! I am sure Maddie will really enjoy all of the fun activities you have planned. If you ever need a partner for some of those things we would love to join! I am really wanting to take Jackson to the zoo before it gets too hot.
