Summer List.



Last year, I read a post from Meg at Whatever about their summer list tradition.  Finn was too little to grasp the concept and have fun with it last year, but this summer he was able to help us make a great list of things to do.  Some, like playing soccer & swimming, he came up with all on his own.  We came up with 20 things and gave some, like the zoo & playground visits, a couple boxes to check off since we will do those more than once.  Since he is still little, I added clip art to some so he would have an easier time identifying activities.





Do you make a summer list with your kids?  What are some activities you have planned for the summer months?

  2. LOVE it! I made my own summer list but I like the idea of making one with the monkey. He is still too little to get it but next year I think I will have to try that!
