Kids always look forward to summer, but once it comes it's easy for them to become bored.  And as parents, it's sometimes hard to come up with ideas to keep your kids busy during the summer.

Wouldn't be great to have a big list you could borrow ideas from?

Well, the folks over at Homeschool.com have a great list you should take a look at!  It's called, "101 Things To Do This Summer".

The list contains some really great ideas.  Here are a few examples:

• Have a picnic.
• Go to a ballgame.
• Visit a farm.
• Cut up an old greeting card picture and make a puzzle (with parent help)
• Make an obstacle course in your back yard

CHECKOUT THE OTHER 96 IDEAS HERE!

Two ideas of how to use this list:

1. You could print up the list at the beginning of the summer and look it over with your child.  You could decide together what activities and ideas you want to use and choose what days of the summer you want to do them.

2. Another idea you could take 30 of the easiest ideas/activities that don't take a lot of planning or preparation and write them on 30 slips of paper and put them in a basket.  When your child is bored they can reach into the basket and pull out an idea!
