Summer Weekly Themes for Kids

Summer is almost here! It starts for us next week when Cakes, my 4 year-old, gets out of pre-school.

I'm excited ~ and a little FREAKED OUT! What am I going to do ALL SUMMER with my two highly-energetic kidlets???

My kids are not the kind that sit quietly by themselves and play while letting me get things done around the house. In fact, it can be complete mayhem around here if we have too much unstructured time!

So...I've come up with a plan!

I've decided to break the summer up into weekly themes and plan activities, field trips and crafts around those themes.


Our Summer Weekly Themes:

Rainbows
Beach Days
Fun on the Farm
Fruits & Veggies
Flowers in the Garden
Little Critters
Under the Sea
Outer Space Fun
Planes, Trains & Cars
Sports
Jungle Explorers
Little Scientists

I'm super excited to start Summer now! With our weekly themes and our Bucket List, its bound to be super fun!

I hope you will follow us all summer long to see what we are doing each week with our themes! And if you have any suggestions, please share!


How are you keeping your kids engaged this summer?

    1. P.S. {Looked for an email address to ask you this, but couldn't find one.}. I was wondering, since we're both relatively new bloggers, if you'd like to "swap" blogs for a day... You guest post on mine and I guest post on yours {introducing our readers to each other}. Interested? If so, message me at domesticblissdiaries@gmail.com.
