Your kids are almost out of school, dreams of summer fun dance in their heads! Perhaps you can't wait as well, yet are unsure as to how to fill the entire summer with green activities.
This week is the week to prepare. Start with the following easy steps:
1. Be sure you know where your local park is and gather up your children's favorite toys in a convenient storage basket to make it easy to transport to the park.
2. Check in with your local or nearby kids' museums to see what summer specials they have. Perhaps the kids' science museum is offering free showings of their movie about sharks. Or, the local aquarium is hosting a family fun week filled with activities.
3. If you live near a local farm check with them to see what types of activities they offer during the summer for families. Perhaps in addition to an educational tour they also have hands-on harvesting and fruit-picking events!
4. Ask your children what types of activities they would like to do this summer. Make a list and start to research those as well.
5. Once you know your area events and activities, it will be easy to plan each week around a theme. Don't forget built-in summer themes such as Memorial Day, the 4th of July and Labor Day. Those are great holidays to start tree planting traditions to honor our loved ones.
What types of green and fun activities do you plan to do this summer with your children?
