Keep the little ones entertained this summer with this simple summer bucket list for kids! Plenty of hands-on activities to try during summer break!

Can you believe summer is almost here? Before you know it, your kids will be out of school and looking for ways to pass their summer days.

We don’t usually take an actual “summer break” in our homeschool, but we do slow down drastically during the summer months. We’re still working on some of our concepts, but we try to include plenty of hands-on fun and unstructured play. Which is why I wanted to come up with a summer bucket list for kids that would be perfect for those lazy summer afternoons.
