Each summer, along with my bucket list I make a toddler bucket list, to make sure the kids squeeze some fun out of summer too! This helps me to have some fun ideas in my back pocket when we’re desperate for some variety.
Also, I’ve always made these on my own, with my kids in mind, but this year I think I’ll have them brainstorm and we’ll add a few more of their ideas. I think it would be fun to have their input, and I love the way their little brains work!
You can find our toddler summer bucket lists from the past two summers here and here, if you’re interested. Favorite’s in years past have been: Make dog treats for our neighborhood dog friends, make a bird feeder (I have a post on how to do that here), visit a new splash pad, and have a water balloon fight, so we’ve included them in this years as well.
I hope you have a happy fun-filled or relaxing summer (more realistically a little bit of both right? with some tantrums sprinkled in for good measure) with your kids!
Are there any unique or fun things you like to do with toddlers during the summer?
P.S. I read this, about parenting in the summer, and it made me laugh out loud. 🙂
