Summer is finally here! We have already been enjoying this warm weather with fun water activities, but I can’t wait to try some new activities with the kids during this theme. Lots of fun water activities are planned during outside time, as well as some art activities that can easily be moved outside to enjoy the sun! Don’t forget to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen to the kiddos AND yourself while we spend time outside.
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
As you go through this week’s activities make sure to use #KL4Lsummer and @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook or Instagram!
