Hi Lauren – What a great roundup to keep the kiddos busy this summer. PINNED! Thank you for including my ladybug hotel. My heart is full of gratitude. Hugs, Holly
Hi Holly! You are so kind! Thank you for your sweet words and for sharing your adorable and fun ladybug hotel! What a wonderful activity for children!
So many wonderful things to try! I particularly liked the painted rocks. My son is nearly 4 and right now most of our activities are soccer, gardening, sitting in the pool, and riding his bikes. Or, and reading his favorite books, of course, including the ones I made myself using BookBildr.
Hi Eliza! Thank you so much! My kiddos found some of the rocks the other day and they were so excited! These activities sound amazing! We love to read around here!!
This is great! We just painted seashells this weekend!
