As summer comes to a close, many of us scramble to check things off our to-do list. For a lot of us, this list includes getting ready for back to school: buying new supplies, meeting the teacher, finishing up last minute summer school items — the list goes on and on. Although it can get stressful checking these items off the to-do list, it’s important to remember to squeeze in some end of summer activities with your young learner. They want to end the summer on the right note, and so do you!
Here are some end of summer activity ideas that we rounded up on Pinterest:
- Before the weather cools down, take the opportunity to use the hot outdoors for a fun project. For instance, you can make ice chalk with your little ones and watch it melt beautiful colors onto the sidewalk.
- Celebrate the last few nights sans homework with a homemade, outdoor movie theatre. You can even have your little ones help design the look!
- Nothing says summer like water activities, which makes these sponge water bombs a perfect craft for the end of summer.
- The end of summer is also a wonderful time to begin preparing for back to school. Here are some back to school traditions and ideas.
- Reflect on the summer with your child by journaling. Here’s a great prompt to inspire some writing topic ideas.
