Simplify Summer Activities

School’s out for summer!

In a quest to keep summer enriching, I decided to create a “bucket list” of engaging summer activities that require little or no-prep work-perfect for keeping young children engaged and  during summer!

If you’re super organized about scheduling and live by your calendar(like me), these easy activities offer ways to fill your days. These ideas will not only incorporate long-lasting summertime memories, but hours of fun!

So, let’s simplify summer and let kids be kids!
