Summer Fun for Kids

By
Education & Training with Mommy Enlightened

It's that sweet time of year when school is coming to an end and everyone has Summer on their minds! From wrapping up the school year with fun events and plenty of tests to planning ahead to vacations and lazy days at the pool. There is just something about this time of year that gets kids and adults alike in a great spirit!

 

Planning Activities

One of the ways we like to make sure that our Summer goes well is by planning out what we intend to do over the long summer months. We plan fun crafts to do, break out awesome interactive toys (these are seriously the best kinetic sand sets!), and schedule plenty of time for outdoor adventures. One of our favorite ways to stay busy outside is to take a walk to the local park and enjoy a nice picnic lunch together!

 

Keeping Education Priority

A common misconception kids have about the summer months is that they shouldn't have to even think about school or learning during their break. While we agree that rest and time to play is very vital to development, continuing education in fun ways is also very important.

When we slack too much on maintaining our children's skills it is harder for them to catch back up in the fall months when school starts.

 

Enjoying Family

During the hustle and bustle of the school year it can become quite difficult to maintain time with family. A great benefit to summer is all of the extra free time we are allowed that can be spent together experiencing life!
