Making Memories is a blog devoted to taking time to create meaningful moments with our kiddos. Summer Break is officially here. We have a million things we want to do and see. We also want to cram as much fun in as we possibly can. How do we make that happen? This fun craft with the kiddos will help you make the most of the summer.
Materials needed: Markers, Strips of paper, and a bucket. Easy as that!
Have your kiddos and even the parents write down as many fun ideas or plans for
the summer on these strips of paper. Ideas can range from going to a certain movie you wanted to see, going to the fair, get ice cream, or paint the patio. Whatever you want to accomplish or do this summer. We set rules that it had to be in the area. (They tried to write down Go to Disney World) Then let everyone put their items in the bucket. We decided that each Sunday evening we would pull an item from the bucket and we would try to do that the following week. We will keep track of the strips of paper that we have used by gluing them on a poster board so they can see all they have accomplished this summer. You could even use the bucket as a 
reward. So what’s on your summer bucket list? Whatever it is, make sure you take time to make a memory.
