Summer Bucket List for Kids
On our Summer bucket list of kids activities we’ve already accomplished some of them but have a few more to go! With our recent purchase from Walmart we grabbed two packs of the Energizer® MAX AA Batteries 8 pack – for several of our activities we’ve done as a family. The Energizer batteries are in a new packaging, making it easier to navigate on the shelf. The AA batteries are now the #1 longest-lasting MAX™ batteries which hold their world-famous power up to 10 years, while in storage – which is a huge plus! If you are using these in a device (i.e. flashlight etc) they protect your devices from damaging leaks.
Recently we did our living room campout and science experiment combined! With the campout you have to have flashlights and create fun hand shadow play…plus we took a flashlight and the back of a CD/DVD and created fun rainbows on the wall – talk about fun! Something we are all still talking about! We’ve got about 4 more weeks of summer and our goal is to mark the rest of our summer bucket list off!
It’s the summer time and we are in total summer vacation mode around our house! With knocking out house projects to making a list of fun summer activities at home! We don’t have to go far to have fun, out of the ordinary, activities with our family!
This summer I created a free printable summer bucket list sheet for us to print off and brain storm as a family. We wrote down some fun and simple ideas of activities we wanted to do together. This free printable is completely blank for you to fill in and use as many times as you’d like.
Don’t aim too high or you’ll get discouraged…and our bucket list didn’t have to be away from home nor did it have to cost lots of money. We even put things on our list that we’ve done before and just wanted to do again because it’s a fun family activity.
