Summer is such a great time for hands on fun and play. I love taking a summer break where I am able to really focus and my kids and enjoy them without stressing about teaching them tough subjects. We enjoy fun activities that keep us busy and engaged during the summer time.
Preschoolers need lots of hands-on activities and fun to keep them engaged and learning. Summer is more relaxed and not as structured as a normal school year for many families, which makes for some great summer fun activities. I love to do activities that I am not brave enough to do during the school year, activities that are messy and will keep us cool!
