Summer may be a time to relax, but tell that to kids who are bouncing off the walls or shrieking
Here are some ideas for your summer bucket list -- to keep kids from being bored and create memories they'll have for a lifetime.
Visit a nature center.
Make a fort out of cardboard boxes.
Visit a farmer's market.
Stage an A to Z scavenger hunt, where you have to find something that starts with every letter.
Have a picnic at a park.
Make homemade ice cream.
Go canoeing at a local lake.
Clean up trash at a local park. Teach them the importance of keeping our earth clean.
Have a backyard campfire...or just use the grill! Roast hot dogs on sticks, pop popcorn and finish off with s'mores.
Make homemade pizza.
Go for a walk and then make a collage from nature objects you find along the way.
Head to a creek and look at the ducks.
Have a water balloon fight.
Go biking on a trail
Plant a garden of herbs and veggies.
Pretend to be pirates for a day -- dress up in costumes, plan a treasure hunt and talk like a pirate.
String beads into jewelry.
Go fossil hunting near a lake.
Make paper boats and race them in a kiddie pool using straws to propel them.
Wade through a stream and search for minnows or tadpoles.
Visit a fire station.
Visit a zoo or aquarium to learn about animals.
Run through the sprinklers.
Let kids paint the sidewalk or patio with plain old water and sponge brushes. When their creation dries, they can begin again.
