50 Things to do over Summer on Days at Home
Updated: Jun 21
We all have our version of "big" summer plans. It may be a tropical vacation or a road trip to a national park or a visit to a favorite amusement park. These things may take up much of our planning time. Arranging flights, making lists etc. We probably even have penciled in playdates, playgrounds and swim lessons. But its those days at home after having been on a break for a while, which could be 5 days in a row, where you are wishing you would have planned for. Here is a list of fun things to do at home this summer when bored strikes and the kids are you making your crazy! (Or, does that just happen to me?) If you see anything on here you would like to learn or make you can add it to this fun free printable planner.
