I posted this last summer with the intention of finishing up the 101 days of summer activities for kids, but I’m a little late getting started! I have about 14 more activities to share!
——————————————————–
I can’t believe summer is here!
Long, hot days.
Fun in the sun.
Kids needing something to do!
Introducing (da, da, da, dah!)
101 Days of Summer Fun for Kids!!!
I’ve had the idea for this series in my head for a few months now….I just couldn’t decide if I could actually commit to finding a new activity for kids every single day for 101 days! As I started scanning my archives, I realized it shouldn’t be too hard! I’ll be posting a combination of “old” ideas, new ideas, and (hopefully) some of your ideas if you’ll send them to me to share!
If you have a blog and have posted a simple and/or frugal craft, snack, or activity perfect for kids, I would love to feature your idea. I’ll include a photo and the link back to your directions. You can email me at motherhoodonadime at gmail dot com. (I can’t promise to feature every post I receive, but I will try my best!)
As I add the posts each day, I will also come back to this post and update it! By the end, we’ll have 101 boredom-busting activities we can pick and choose from to make some memories with our kids!
Hope you’ll join me for this journey!! 🙂
