Ideas For Summer Activities
Since summer is stretching ahead of us with it’s seemingly endless days, I’ve got some ideas for conquering boredom.
- Collecting Together
Decide on something to collect together. Exchange information and materials you find and take pictures of your finds (even young kids can use digital cameras). Your collection could be rocks, coins, stamps, spoons, sports cards, recipes, models, even stuffed animals or miniature cars. - Share a hobby
Grow identical gardens and display photos to show how each of your gardens is doing. Mention tips that might help your young gardener. You could try to grow the largest pumpkin, or the biggest tomatoes. Or decide on a recipe you can each cook and take photos of the finished products. Share sewing, woodworking, building, anything you could be doing together even when the miles are separating you. - Lego Challenge
Tell a story or give a challenge and do a lego model related to it. Publish a photo of the results. - Playdoh Challenge
Tell a story or give a challenge and create a playdoh sculpture for it. Photo and publish as above. - Recipes
Share new recipes. Eventually you and your family could even produce a joint recipe book, along with some photos of the meals. Printed and bound, imagine what a keepsake that could become. (And thanks to places like Amazon, Lulu, or even your local print shop, it’s easy to publish your own cookbook).
some great ideas, my grandson likes to watch home movies of his dad as a little boy. Can I copy this post to my site if I link back to you?
Wish I had home movies of our kids when they were small, but movie camera’s were pretty expensive then. Although I do have an audio tape of mine singing songs in those sweet little voices.
Of course you can copy the post. Thanks in advance for the link.
