First up - Ideas for kids this summer. I don't know about you, but when summer hits the real work begins for me. I have four kids at home, and they are all under seven! So, during the summer it is really important for me to have our days scheduled to maximize the good times.
Rule one at my house - the mornings are for activities and the afternoons are for resting or playing at home. I don't know if you have tried to take a toddler out in the afternoon, but it is hard! They are tired, hot, and cranky! Get out in the cool(er) morning sun, but be home for lunch and rest. This is also important for mom.
One of my daughters' favorite games is school. They set out all of their stuffed animals and pretend their are the teachers. They even take turns having "teacher breaks" when one of them has to watch the entire class while the other comes down to have a snack :). It is so funny to hear the things they say when they play this game because you know they are parroting things their teachers have said to them.
So, my idea for kids during summer is to encourage their "school" play. It is great imaginative play that builds their brains, it is a quiet game, and you can give the kids math problems, worksheets, books, or whatever that they can "share" with their students.
A freebie you can grab from my TpT store for the duration of the blog hop/giveaway is Multiplication Task Cards. They have a cute underwater theme, and right now they are $0! Next week they will be back up to $3, so grab them now! Click on the picture to get to the product.
Next up, you can download an Ebook that has all of the contact information for all of the participants in the blog hop and giveaway.
