100 Days of Summer – Screen Free Ideas for June
WOO HOO! It seems like the majority of school in the US are either finished or entering their last weeks of school for this academic year. Lucky you; in the UK we have another six weeks before we finish for the year. However, I know that within a week my kids will utter those fatal words “I’m bored, Mum!”
I’m not one of those parents who keeps kids entertained every waking moment, but I like to spend some time with them each day doing something together so we have time to chat and spend that time as a family. With busy lives, I know how challenging it is for moms to find ideas, so I’ve done the hard work for you. With my trusty Pinterest account, I’ve combed the Summer Activity Boards for recipes, crafts, activities, and fun learning ideas that you and your kids can do together this summer. With these great activities, the dreaded words — “I’m bored” — will be a thing of the past.
