Summer is here… wooohoo! So wanted to remind you of this quick project that might help you through the summer months with kids of any kind… grand, greats, cousins, friends. If you have any ideas I could add let me know. I am looking for self-motivated ideas to add to the list and refresh “the jar” for this summer.
I am taking new ideas to add on my facebook page to… HERE I’d love to have yours here on my blog or on facebook.
You can see my original post here.
Here is the original Conglomeration list from that post of ideas you can make your own.
I can say the two hits were freeze a toy and excavate it out, Marshmallow and toothpick model. I don’t know why these were fun but they were for my son!

That’s a pretty extensive list. How about looking up new words in the dictionary. Or trying a new food. Or learn to cook something (depending on the age of the child).
