Summer Activities for Kids
I am stuck working from home an entire summer with an almost 3rd grader and an almost 1st grader – and after scraping through the school year I'm determined that they won't fall behind even if I'm not the greatest teacher! This is all the educational...
Educational Resources
easy to use so far – we love it!
My daugher thinks its fun so far! I'm happy with the content!
I have our schedule written here, I also let the kids write their sight words repeatedly here!
Such pretty colors! Great to color code the kids' chores, the weekly menu, and our daily schedule!
Any age elementary school boy will LOVE these little science sets – bonus points if it glows in the dark. Easy to use I promise!
Easy writing practice and drawing fun!
Bought these as stocking stuffers – ended up using it myself for a few hours because it was cool!
Literally all of these National Geographic science kits are my go-to gift for elementary aged boys! My son goes crazy for these, we've done several and even my non-scientific mind can get through them with him!
Hands down an easy pick for any boy in your life – make sure you use safety goggles and let em go to town on this one!
The kids got to build, paint/design a volcano and then set it up to explode! My nephew literally made me take a video and send it to him!
My toddler LOVES this! and he hardly ever sits still!
Art Class
the PERFECT rainy day activity!! My kids love to draw so I set them up with a couple pages and let them go to town! its visual so they don't need to know how to read and they can work independantly!
I literally have to hide this so they won't use it all in one sitting! Sometimes I give them a prompt (i.e. make an animal, make a pot, etc.) sometimes I just let them go for it!
Just trust me on this one
I used these as kids, and I got them for my kids and they're just literally the OG best most amazing – they smell great and color amazing!
Outside Fun!!
at $30 its literally the cheapest way I've entertained all my kids for hours and hours
everyone from my 8 year old to my 2 year old LOVE these – whether they're throwing them at each other, at me, or just waiting for them to pop from disc to ball!
Outside fun is only fun if you remember to pack the sunscreen, bug spray, towels, extra clothes, bandaids, and a MILLION other things – this is the wagon you need to haul all of that stuff in. There are two strap-ins for kids or you can just pile the...
Listen just buy the waterguns and send them outside – Target had these in a smaller version and a larger version, each came in a three pack – they have held up surprisingly well!
Make Magic for your Kids
My daughter got this for Christmas, and for family functions and fun days we give her a roll or two of film; seeing our life through her eyes is AMAZING-- she has made me cry more than once. Pair this with a pack of film, carrying strap, and a photo ...
FUN film for the camera!! My daughter was so excited to get this!
Toys/Fun stuff
Alright, I bought this for daycare naptime, but if you want naptime to go smoothly in your house a cool blanket/pillow/sleeping bag will do the trick. Haul it into the living room for movie night, or put it on top of their mattress for naptime, its a...
SPILLPROOF and I really mean, tested by my menace of a two year old spillproof!!
I can't keep them away from it!
Sip or use the straw-- and the kids love flipping the top up! spill proof if the top is closed and it has a carrying handle
