Creating your own summer bucket list poster is the first activity that inspires the rest of the season.
With the summer starting, I went looking for fun exciting ways to entertain my children. I saw the idea of a summer bucket list and I ran with it. I sat down with my kids and we brainstormed ideas that we would both like to do over the course of 10 weeks. We had fun with it as we picked out about 15 ideas. We drew it up on an oak tag and hung it up so we can always look at it for an idea whenever we need.
The ones we chose are specific for us because it had to be things I wanted/was willing to do with them, but i wrote up a list of ideas for you to choose from to make your own summer bucket list!
Step one:
Go through the list and pick out 10+ ideas that are feasible for you to do during the summer months.
Make it a family activity!
Step two:
Have fun making it on a poster or as a graphic or drawing it up, or simply writing it all down on a piece of paper.
Step three:
Hang it up and whenever a day comes up that you need some ideas for entertainment, check out your list for one to do!
