In summers past, I have done “One Fun Thing A Day” (I wrote about them here and here) with great success. We’ve made so many memories as a family that we still reminisce about. But these kids keep growing older, so I’m trying something new this year: a Welcome to Summer basket! As I purchased items throughout the spring, the theme that continually came to mind was “Summer Fun Without Screens.” It’s so easy for us to fall into a “just one show” rut when it’s boiling outside so I wanted to give them fun options to do instead. Here’s what’s in our basket for 2019:
painter’s tape (for making roads all around our hardwood floors)
everything to make s’mores: chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers
playing cards
and the big gift for the littlest ones: a water table!
Great list, Ashley- adding some things to my Amazon cart! I thought I had a handle on fun things for this summer but the play-doh got left out in the rain and the big bottle of bubbles has already been dumped out…haha, what can you do but try?
Haha yes! Your girls may enjoy the modeling clay, water beads and Paint by Sticker books. They've all been big hits here so far!
