Super Summer Bucket List

SUMMER IS COMING! …and every parent silently screams “what are we going to do all day?”! A year ago that phrase would have only meant a little more time spent outdoors, splash pad playdates and putting water in the sand table. I taught pre-k for 7 years, I survived the quarantine with little kids….my toddler-activity-game was STRONG! Now that both kids have been in school (in person) for the past year my “activity” muscle has atrophied and I’m wiggin’ out just a little.

In years past I’ve searched Pinterest for a list of summer activities and I’ve come up frustrated because most lists were not geared towards kids under 5. The other problem with most lists is that they were just…lists. Activity after activity after activity, it was so hard to follow.

So, this year I created my own list to jumpstart our creative juices and beat the summer boredom.

Go ahead and download it below! I would love to hear from you and which activities you had the most fun with!!!!

🎒🏫🍎 Why do we even need a Black back-to-school boo 🎒🏫🍎 Why do we even need a Black back-to-school books list? 

When books featuring Black kids are automatically included in back-to-school roundups, library lists and bookshelves then there will no longer be a need for me to create a separate post to highlight books that feature Black children doing the very normal thing of going to school. 

The only thing that makes these books special is that there are not more of them. 

Wishing everyone that has started or is about to start a wonderful season!

I'm going to miss how it transformed our city into a 6 week party. Watch parties everywhere, free concerts, community events and celebration vibes everywhere. I wish we could have gotten out more. But really proud of how our city showed the world what we could do!

If your little readers have caught soccer fever keep the party going after Sunday's final with these books for every age group.
