We Will Survive Summer Activity Jars!!!!

Summer has arrived and I really want to be intentional at having some structure, plan and order to this season so there are no casualties in this house. ;) I always intend to have a plan and I have so many ideas but there are easy to forget or maybe I come with the idea for a craft but then I don't have all the supplies. So I am bound and determined. Summer 2012 will  be the year I get my act together. I like easy, simple, affordable and FUN!!! As I was pursuing the internet and Pinterest. I kinda took a few different ideas and made them my own. So I came up with Summer Activity Jars and I divided it up to 3 different jars, Let's Go, Let's Eat and Activities and Games. 

This is a no-cost project because I had everything already! All you need is 3 jars, 3 different color paper.That is it. Easy peasy!!! 


First make a list of activities you want to do this summer and either print it out or write it down on paper. This is always fun to do as a family and find out what is on the kids’ wish lists. I got some more ideas online too. I then color coded the categories. I printed out activities and games on yellow  paper, treat ideas on blue paper, and outing type activities on green paper.
Then just cut the paper into strips and then fold them into smaller pieces and put into designated jars.
Activities and Games-Fun things to do such as jump on the trampoline or play freeze tag or go on a scavenger hunt or make giant bubbles. (There were lots for this jar so I can combat the I am bored syndrome).


Let's Go-Go to a local park, swimming pool, museum, hike, and the dollar store.


Let’s Eat!-Ideas for yummy treats to make or anything having to do with food. For example, make cupcakes or build fruit kebabs or have a fondue party.
