So Summer is in full swing (as if you can't tell by the sweltering heat outside!) With summer has come a burst of crafting and sewing for me. Though we homeschooled last year and school flowed easier into the summer, I am trying to make summer different and special. We spend most of our time at home and it can get monotonous very easily! So in my internet researching last week I discovered the idea of the Summer Fun jar! So I made one of my own:
Every day Bear picks an activity out of the jar and we do it! So far we've made clothespin dolls, colored our entire sidewalk, took a trip to the library, colored hot rocks and tomorrow we are sending a homemade card. This gives her something to look forward to and helps me fill the time. I also made them some bean bags and colored some rice for them to play in. So far it's all been a big hit! And it's helping on these crazy hot days when it's just TOO hot to go outside. Here are a few pics from our adventures so far and I will keep adding from here on out. I'll try and give you links to some of the projects that I found online and copied...That way you can try it too!

Great ideas! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
