I'm a nanny and I'm always trying to find some fun things to do with the kids I take care of in the summer so they aren't just sitting around watching TV. Something else I'm going to do with them is to paint t-shirts. You can get really cheep plain shirts at craft stores. I'm going to wait for some coupons and get fabric paint on sale. They love doing crafts like this. They get to wear them afterwards too! These are some great ideas!

I actually really like to just send the kids off to a summer camp. It really isn't just a cop out. Camps provide a variety of activities each day and camp counselors who have to energy to keep up with them. Besides that, there is the whole social aspect of it. For 8 months, kids spend several hours a day locked indoors. At a camp, they get to socialize in a much more relaxed environment. There are also a lot of camps that are for families so parents can get some quality time and the kids have a blast without the headache of planning. Great Ideas!

We’re doing “Home Summer Camp” this year and I’m ready with arts/crafts/activities/sports everything - including my clip board and daily planner. ALSO, I have found a very cool e-learning site www.BigIQkids.com that offers a summer special for $29.99 (3 months unlimited) which includes all their K-7 learning programs. My kids love it! They are happy to be “online” and in doing so, I'm over the moon they are actually learning and getting ahead for next year's spelling words, vocabulary, math and US geography. Week 1 of Home Summer Camp is going well! Great list!

Some of my favorite memories are of making a fort in the living room. How about camping out in the backyard on a warm summer night? I love the idea of making summertime, volunteer time for the kids.
