bucket list toddler activities
Photo from Little Wonder DaysI absolutely adore this idea from Little Wonder Days.

Make a Bucket List of all the fun activities you can do with your kids over the summer. Write them down and put them in a pail (or another cute receptacle of your choice).

Little Wonder Days color codes activities by how much time they'll take (2 hours, 1/2 a day, a full day, all summer).

Every night (or whenever you've got time for an activity), take turns having a family member pull a paper from the bucket.

I'm starting my bucket list right here, right now:
  1. Go to the Drive-in
  2. Make ice cream (and eat it too)
  3. Plant a garden
  4. Go blueberry picking (this is kind of cheating since we do this every summer)
  5. Make lemonade
  6. Go on a boat (my two-year-old hasn't been on one yet)
  7. Roast marshmallows (translation: make S'mores)
  8. Make a fabric cover for the tee pee made of branches in our yard
  9. Milk a cow
  10. Go to a concert
  11. Fireworks!

I'll finish my list later ... and talk to you on Labor Day.

If you need activity ideas, take a look at Little Wonder Day's Bucket List.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Little Wonder Days for this brilliant idea (and to Ohdeeoh for leading me to her).

What's on your summer Bucket List?
