I have a definite soft spot for literature based units and these pictures from West Word’s Lentil unit just make me smile. How much fun to imitate a scene straight from the book!

This play dough ice cream recipe from A Little Pinch of Perfect may have you pulling out the actual ice cream. Just looking at it makes me want some! Love the colors and all the fun that can be had with this!

If you’ll be reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, you’ll want to look at this caterpillar pillow tutorial from An Idea on Tuesday. So cute and such a fun little memory to have after you are finished with a book study!

Ready for a few fun ways to celebrate the 4th of July? Here are a few ideas linked up last week that you and your kids will enjoy!

Nothing says patriotic like a red, white, and blue hat! This paper plate hat from Tutus and Tea Parties is simple to make and I love that her daughter shares a video tutorial on how to make it too – cute!.

Rockabye Parents has a fun craft for an American Flag Bead pin that would be great to work on fine motor skills.

Upcycle some old jars with some tissue paper and make some cute 4th of July candle holders. Memorizing the Moments has a tutorial to share with you.

Love, love, love this patriotic windsock from A Little Pinch of Perfect. It’s a craft that you’ll love to have hanging around even after the 4th passes!

For even more kids’ craft ideas and activities, visit The Jenny Evolution for a roundup of 35 different patriotic ideas. There’s definitely something there for everyone!

Summer fun is kicking into full gear around our house. We’re headed to the beach this next week and have been trying to stay cool in the hot temps the last few days. Here are a few fun activities to do work on while avoiding that summer heat – and you’ll learn a few things too!

Thanks so much to the ladies linking up and sharing last week!

If you want to learn a little about the night sky, check out this geoboard constellation activity from School Time Snippets. With all of the loom band elastics that we have around our house, this might be a fun summer activity to do together!

The Pinay Homeschooler is starting to learn about arthropods. Not sure what an arthropod is?? Be sure to visit her site and see the fun activities she has planned and find out!

Birdseed abounds at our house and this sprouting birdseed activity from Stir the Wonder would be an easy summer activity for your little ones!

What activities are you doing with your kids to keep cool and still relax together? Leave a comment and share today!

Let’s face it. Sometimes those road trips can be long and we run out of ideas before we’ve even hit the end of the driveway. Maybe seeing an idea from someone else helps get the ideas flowing! Check out these fun suggestions from other moms.

Dabbling Momma shares a fun way to display your summer ‘must-do’ list with your kids and all it involves are a few items from the Dollar Tree.

Getting somewhere and realizing that you are missing sunscreen, or a towel…or anything, can be frustrating. Our Adventure Story shares her summer bag checklist so you can be spontaneous and prepared all at the same time.

Looking for a few summer reading programs? The Jenny Evolution shares several you may not have been aware of! (off to check those out today!)

Real stickers on car windows = a pain to get off. Stella !23 has a great idea for something similar, but a breeze to clean up after those car trips.

Need something to jumpstart the bucket list ideas and write them all down? 3 Dinosaurs has a fun printable with different areas to get you started.
