Check out our summer schedule. We’ve included themed days and I even added a breakdown of how we flow through each day.

Let your child collect some nature items and explore some (pretend) bugs! This was a great way to chat about the different creatures we might see as the weather warms up and ease some of the bug fears our 3 year old has.

Easy to set up and fun to explore!

This rice sensory bin is the perfect way to introduce or refamiliarize your kids with bugs and insects. It is a fun way to talk about nature and welcome spring!

A peek into why we decided to aim for 1,000 hours outside this year, how we plan to make it happen, and our favorite outdoor gear and toys.

All you need is ice! Grab a spoon, ladle, or hammer and let your little ones have a blast smashing some ice.

This messy activity was cleaned up in only a few minutes and gave us the reset we needed on a hard day!

This kid’s car wash requires only 4 basic items that I bet you already have at home. It’s a great way to beat the heat and keep the kids entertained for a long time!

If you are looking for a way to keep your kids entertained outside, this is perfect! A little messy, but a lot of fun from start to finish.

This activity was so easy to put together and the kids had a blast setting it up themselves!
