Summer Fun Ideas!!
Wonderful Wet Prints
Pour water into a cake or bread pan. Dip your
bare feet or hands into water and make wet-
prints on the sidewalk.
Mud Painting
Have kids dig up a good pile of dirt and give
them a hose to make dirt. Then transport the
mud to the driveway. Allow kids to use old
paintbrushes to paint with the mud. They will
have just as much fun cleaning it up with the
hose. Old washable clothes advised.
Backyard Camping
Who says you have to travel and pay for
camping space? Set up your tent in the
backyard, roast marshmallows on the grill, and
sit around and tell spooky stories.
Parent Resources:
In addition to our Parent Handbook, there
are several websites we have found useful
that touch on parenting tips and
developmental milestones:
