How’s everyone summer so far?! I am loving how my kiddos are enjoying their days. I was curious to see how soon and how often the kids would start the “I’m bored” routine. Well, maybe not that curious. But I’ve heard the phrase only a few times.
I usually tell them to look around and use their imaginations when they tell me they have nothing to do. I personally think my kiddos have amazing imaginations. I love to watch them play…even just listen to them playing is fun.
I know some people have summer fun lists where they write down a list of everything they want to do this summer. Some write their list on a poster board and check things off as they complete the “task.”
I asked my family what they wanted to do. My kiddos answers where the typical “play in the pool” and “catch fireflies.” And also the non-typical answers like “make a popsicle house.” Our summer to-do list is in my head. I didn’t write it down. I plan to sometime…maybe. It’s summer and my motto is relax, no strict schedule, and have fun.
Here are some of the fun things my kiddos did all on their own. It’s impromptu fun. And it all happened at home which meant it was thrifty fun.
