Summer is almost upon us! Our last day of school is Thursday. We have loads of trips and activities already planned, but the day to day that we're home I wanted something fun for the kids to look forward to. I came across this idea on Pinterest and was taken to one of my favorite blogs: Somewhat Simple. The idea was originally posted back in June of 2010 when she was featuring some summer boredom ideas. I wanted to rework it a little bit. I think it's perfect for my kids!
Each weekday there is a different theme that allows you & your kids to plan the week ahead. My kids like to know what's coming. I wanted to be able to write it down for them (and me!) to see what we had planned. So I made it into vinyl and added the words off to the right.
I put it on the top of my fridge and now I can simply use a dry erase marker and write down our weeks activities!
When the summer is done I will take down the words (make something Monday, etc) and use it as my meal calender!
For those interested in a paper copy I have a down-loadable version as well. This is my first time doing this, so be kind. It would be simple to print and write in each week, or laminate and reuse!

Cute! I was thinking about doing something like that for/with my kids, too!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love the idea of putting it in vinyl on your fridge. Thanks for sharing!
