Summer Bucket List Free Printable

Hey everyone!! Summer is so close I can feel it. I want my family to have the BEST summer ever. I say that every year and then lose momentum halfway through the season. I’m trying to avoid doing that this year so I created a Summer Bucket List. Creating it inspired me to create a printable (five, really) for everyone to create their own summer bucket list. My kids and husband have their own idea of what would make this summer perfect so I made a couple different versions for them to write their list out on. I bet my husband is going to write, “a whole day of doing nothing”. 😉

I created one version for the littles with fewer lines and more space in between each line. This is for the littles who are just learning to write and still write pretty large or the littles who may not have as many ideas as older kids and adults. I created two different versions for older kids/teenagers and adults. Then, I created a printable of my own bucket list and if you love all of my bucket list activities, you can download that one instead.

For the toddlers, I plan on asking them to “write” their own list and then going back and asking them what each line says. When they tell me, I’ll write it in for them, next to their own writing.

There are actually a bunch of other activities I want to do that wouldn’t fit on the list, so I may print myself another blank one and make a second page.

I’m so excited to share these with you! What are you going to put on your Summer Bucket List?

Oobleck

Peyton asked if we could make oobleck and while I wanted to say no, how can I deny him a little messy fun?!

Plus, it’s so easy and the perfect activity for a rainy day… or so I thought. The joke was on me. IT IS SO MESSY. But, so much fun. The next time we make it will be when the weather is nice and we can play with it outside and then hose off afterward.

Oobleck is solid when it’s pushed on, but liquid when you try to pick it up. How cool is that?

 

It’s so easy and you probably have the ingredients on hand right now.

  • Pour 1 cup of water into a bowl. A small one will be fine but if you are letting kids help stir, you may want a slightly bigger one.
  • Start adding cornstarch to the water. Start with 1 and a half cups and go up from there if it’s too liquidy. It’s easiest to use your hands to stir it but we always start with a spoon.
  • This is where you can add food coloring if you want. We didn’t.
  • Get messy and have fun!
