She's a mom to three beauties and has given us some really great ideas!
Here they are...
1. Have a picnic-it can be on your living room floor, in your backyard, at a park or anywhere! The kids have fun helping you pick out the food and then enjoying it in a different place than normal. Bring a board game for extra fun on your blanket.
2. Buy small canvases from Michael's (around $5 for 2 canvases) and let your kids make real artwork for your walls at home. Designate a wall to hang them on.
3. Use the summer to get things done like potty training, sleep training, or whatever you have been putting off.
4. Pick a different park once a week. It keeps it new for everyone. We found a blog that talked about different parks throughout OC and decided to give some a try.
5. If I remember correctly, I had an old neighbor that let her kids play with shaving cream and they had a blast....do it in the backyard and put them in their bathing suits. All you need is the hose to clean up.
6. Restock your artbox throughout the summer. Put in new markers, chalk, stickers, water colors, etc. They will love experimenting with new things and it will hopefully keep them busy a little longer.
Thanks for your ideas Amanda!
