30 Ideas for Summer Fun


School is just about out and kids are ready for summer! About three years ago I saw an article that listed 77 activities for summer break and I held on to the issue so that I could use it when I had kids...guess who can't find it? Me.

  7. Make an "anything-goes" lunch
  8. Grow butterflies
  9. Live outside for a day
  10. Organize a block party
  11. Play Uno
  12. Paint crazy
  13. Take a day trip
  14. Be a chef for a day
  15. Volunteer at an animal shelter
