I love summer…the beach, the sun , the kids! I have been sifting through Pinterest to try and find some activities for my children to do during the vacation. I have a 2-year old and a 6-year old and wanted to find activities appropriate for both of them to do together.
I have compiled this list as a go to and hope to get through the list during the vacation. You can always check back to see how it went and how far we got.
1. Sandy Footprints on the beach: I found this image on Pinterest and think it will be a special keepsake activity with their little feet printed on the ‘beach’. There was no source attached to the picture so if you know who it belongs to, please let me know so that I can reference it.
2. Make a milk jug feeder: There is nothing better than a garden filled with singing birds. Lure them to your garden with some home made milk jug bird feeders. You can get an in-depth description on how to make one similar to the one below here.
3. Play a game of Sponge Bullseye: You can incorporate educational information as well by asking your children to add their scores(6 – year old, I’ll make the numbers more applicable for her ability) or identify the color they landed on (2-year old). See how to make one here.
4. Do a Garden Scavenger hunt: Children love pottering in the garden, now they have a reason to search for goodies. Read about it here (there is also a FREE printable to go with it).
5. Practice writing words: This can be their name if they need practice with that or a new sight word. can choose and then let them use what they find in the garden to create the word. You can do a light outline for them to follow if need be. That is what I will do with my son.
6. What Melts in the Sun? Do a simple science experiment with your children focusing on what melts in the sun. Let your children predict what is going to happen. Get some ideas on what to use here.
