i have done a lot of planning, organizing and prepping to make summer fun and smooth. luckily, we have lots of visitors, camps, and trips planned to break summer vacation up, but i want to find our routine and set some rules.
my goal is to start the mornings with an invitation to play or create. a simple activity on the kitchen table for them to engage in. i don't want to start the morning off with TV and they will have to "earn" it.
my other goal is to sit down with them and plan out our week. pick a art project, science experiment, books to grow on bin to dig into and plan out our activities.
today we are easing into summer with a "what can you build" activity. there are popsicle sticks, snack cups, medicine cups, silicone and plastic cups and some panda bears. they were very excited to come downstairs and check it out. they immediately found some play dough from the art cart. bowie made a panda security station and ryder added cars. they played for 45 minutes while i folded laundry, so i am calling this a win!
