KEEPING YOUR CHILDREN BUSY WITH FUN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT YOU WILL LOVE DURING SUMMER BREAK

While there are many things I love about summer, the challenge of finding educational summer activities is NOT one of them. Having school aged kids only increases that pressure.

My kids are still pretty young, and I know that the best thing I can do for my kids is to cultivate a love of learning. For preschool age kids (and younger) – the MOST important thing for them to “learn” is to have fun while learning.

I wanted to share some of MY favorite educational summer activity ideas to hopefully help other moms provide meaningful and educational experiences.

Along that same vein – the most beneficial thing you can to prepare your child for reading is to read to them. It’s something we’ve all heard before and all want to be better at doing – but it’s much more difficult in practice.

JOIN A GOOD COMPREHENSIVE BOOK CLUB FOR CHILDREN

Whether you live near a national park or must take a bit of a drive, there are BOUNDLESS educational opportunities (as well as lot of fun) in driving to and staying in a national park.

TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT NATIONAL PARKS NEAR YOU

Give each member of your family a special task or role to perform for the duration of the summer break. This can be during a trip or throughout the entire summer. One of the best trips a friend of mine remembered was a trip to the Uinta mountains in Utah, USA. He was a young child at the time and was tasked with taking care of the first aid kit for the week-long trip

FILL YOUR CHILDREN’S SUMMER WITH PURPOSEFUL ROLES

Find ways to correlate their favorite fictional characters into their daily lives. Find out who they like to watch on television or who they like to hear about in their favorite books and find ways to fill their lives with parallels and references from this pop-culture connection.

CONVERT YOUR CHILDREN’S SPACES INTO FICTION SETTINGS

Gradually convert their bathroom into a themed motif. Gradually create and introduce themed artwork into their bedroom décor. If you want to take this even further, you can start planning and decorating a play room built on the concepts from the fictional world.If
