Things To Remember
Entertaining kids in the summer is a real balancing act! Have plenty of time for outdoor activities, indoor activities, crafts, reading, playtime with friends (and siblings), and downtime.
Pick age-related crafts
Allow them to get bored, give them access to the best arts and crafts supplies for kids, and allow them to make things on their own. Using their imagination is important. They need creative free play and creative playtime. Don’t forget to add music to your days too! Dance, jiggle, and have fun! We call it getting the wiggles out.
