Preschool Summer Bucket List {Instagram Style}



Well it's that time of year where everyone seems to be creating their summer bucket lists! If you browse through Pinterest you will see so many fabulous ideas and suggestions related to the summer bucket list!

Today I wanted to share our summer bucket list that I created with the girls.

Last year we simply jotted down all our ideas on a piece of paper and then my 4 year old liked to cross off each one as we completed them. This year I wanted to create something a little more hands-on and interactive.

I wanted to make sure this was a collaborative project and involved the girls in every step of the way.

I gathered some old scrapbooking paper and chip board letters that I had on hand from my scrapbooking days.  I taped the scrapbooking paper to a poster board and the girls helped me spell out Summer Bucket List with the letters. We then glued them to the top of the board.




We used index cards (cut up into small rectangles) and wrote each idea/activity on the cards. The girls helped me create our list together. We attached velcro stickers to each card and stuck them to the poster board. I also made an envelope for the bottom of the board. My 4 year old wrote "We did it" on the envelope. This allows for the girls to be able to easily pull off each activity upon completion and place in the envelope entitled "We did it".

They had fun practicing this over and over!




Our completed list, all ready to hang up for the summer! We also left some open spaces with velcro on the side incase we want to add some more cards to it in the next few weeks.


Now for the fun part!

Are you on Instagram? I have been having so much fun over there following so many fun kid bloggers, photographers, and friends.

Let's share our adventures this summer and tag #SBLwithkids each time you post an activity/idea off of your summer bucket list! I'm so excited to see what you all have in store and how fun will it be to inspire one another!!
