Jumping into June!
June is the perfect time to soak up the sunshine, enjoy longer days, and make special memories together! From outdoor adventures and creative crafts to playful learning and family fun, this activity calendar is filled with simple ideas to inspire kids all month long.

June 1 - Make Homemade Play Dough
If you have a few basic kitchen ingredients, you can make soft, long-lasting play dough at home in under 15 minutes. It is perfect for toddlers and young kids, and it is a great way to encourage sensory play, creativity, and fine motor skills.
June 2 - Find Chores that Work for Every Age
Are you often overwhelmed by your endless to-do lists? If you are a parent like me, you know the myriad of tasks it takes to keep your household running smoothly. While it may be tempting to tackle household tasks alone, involving your children in age- appropriate household chores is an excellent opportunity for your child to learn integral skills needed for adulthood, like preparing meals, cleaning and organizing.
June 3 - Have a Family Game Night
Family game night is the perfect opportunity to turn off the screens and enjoy each other’s company with the added fun of light-hearted competition. Game night is an especially great time for your child to practice important life skills through play.
June 4 - Plan a Fun Summer
As the weather heats up, do you begin daydreaming about warm lazy days full of lake swims and popsicles, evenings full of fireflies, and campfires? Yep…me too! However, if you are anything like me, you simultaneously love the magic of summer but dread the task of keeping your little ones happy and engaged all summer long.
When those long days of summer feel a little too long, it’s tempting to rely on TV and electronics to keep your child occupied. Instead, resist the temptation and get your child outside for some fun in the sun. Keep reading for some tips and tricks on creating a fun and engaging Sensory Summer!
June 5 - Make a Mess!
It's no surprise that kids love making messes - that's when the learning happens! Check out our list of 5 messy things you can do with your kids that will teach them valuable skills!
June 6 - Have a Treasure Hunt
There is nothing quite like the thrill of finding that first clue in a treasure hunt and then the next, and then all the others leading to a jackpot. Traditional treasure hunts are as much about the hunt as the treasure. They are about potential and using noggins to figure out where to go next.
So get ready to explore, spend quality time together, and most importantly have fun. So onward, Treasure Hunter, the quest is waiting!
