Summer Fun

Even if you can't be on vacation all summer, some of these activities will entertain your little ones.
1. "Paint" with water and a big, wide brush on outdoor surfaces like the sidewalk, steps, or fence.
2. Fill up two kiddie pools, one with water, one with beach or play sand. Give your child some plastic containers to measure or pour with.
3. Buy some inexpensive sidewalk chalk and let the sidewalk be your child's easel.
4. Ok, you have to be adventuresome for this and you might want to save it for a rainy day. Make a road out of uncooked rice and let your child use it for his or her cars. Then vacuum it up.
5. You could also make a road with masking tape or blue painter's tape. Actually, that would probably be a lot better!
6. Spread a sheet over a small table or card table. Use it as a fort or a tent. Get inside and read books to your child. Sometimes this is a great place for napping.
7. Make Rice Krispies Treats with your child. It's simple, takes only three ingredients and can be eaten right away.

  1. Hi Shirley, I like your list. :) Thx for stopping by my blog. I hope you do an altar this year, I would love to see it. Somehow your blog looks different. Do you still have your dog? Nice to see you. Take care.
