In reply to The Welder and His Wife. That's great! I think all that tedious work with them when they are little really pays off when they grow up and can do (and want to do!) so many things on their own!

In reply to Julie. Haha, yes, they are almost always soaking wet! But it's worth it to keep the littles occupied! Thanks so much!

I love this so much. When I was young we never had a moment we weren’t doing or learning something. I shared this with my kids for my grandchildren! Thank you.

So many wonderful ideas and a great reminder of how much learning happens every day doing every day things together.

All great ideas! I like to let my kids water everything haha. Bonus points if they come out of that project not soaking wet. But it’s ok if they do get wet, too. This is a wonderful list of ideas and gives me inspiration to let my kids loose in a few other areas! Thanks!

These are great tips! I totally agree with the importance of learning to swim. Over the pandemic years, we stopped a lot of our regular outings including regular visits to the local pool. It’s something I’ve put at the top of the activity priority list now that things have opened up more. I’m also excited to get the kids involved in helping tend to our small garden as well as get involved with some food prep over the summer.
