Loading... Please wait...Since we are just a few short days to the end of school, we are going to start posting about fun activities to do with all the kiddos when they are out of school!
First up is “Theme Weeks”
Think of themes that might entertain the wee ones — We like Art, Weather, Ocean, Insects, Animals, Food, Space, etc!
Go ahead and print out a calendar (Very easy to do on a word document) and pick your weeks — we use 2 for some of the bigger themes. Next up think of activities to do with these themes:
Ocean – Go to the beach, Make Lobster Prints, Jello Oceans, or other activities found here!
Weather – Wind Socks, Weather Activities, Youtube is great to watch videos of weather (just watch them first).
Art- Make their own art based on Famous art works
Insects – send them outside to catch bugs, make bugs out of paper plates, Grape Caterpillars ,
Animals – There are unlimited posibilites, but if you can visit a zoo – Around Charleston you can visit Magnolia Plantation or Charlestowne Landing for animal experiences.
Food- Dress the part, apron and everything, let them pick stuff they have never tried and help you cook it! Learn about what are vegetables and what is a fruit.
Space-Lots of space themed crafts, watch space shuttle launches on YouTube, learn about no gravity, the other planets, the sun and stars!
The thing to remember is always make it fun! Don’t let them know they are learning something. You can find these activities and more on Pinterest. We have a board called Summer Activities where you can find all sorts of fun activities! Follow us on Pinterest!
This summer, have a plan and your weeks will go smoothly! Happy Summer!
