It seems apropos to kick off my new blog, The Beautiful Bucket, with a post about buckets and bucket lists...Check out this great idea my sister-in-law found/tweaked to alleviate summer boredom! (This idea is geared towards children, but the young at heart would have fun creating this bucket too.)
Materials needed:
List of summer activities (check out this list by AliLily)
Clothes pins
Bucket (or pail, or decorated yogurt container...)
Marker or pen
Start by making a list of fun and must-do summer activities (Em threw in a few surprises the kids didn't think of: trip to the movies, lunch at their favorite restaurant, etc). Write the activities on the clothes pins and clip to the bucket. Have the kids select one at a time throughout the summer!
For a fun twist, turn the pins so the writing is facing the inside of the bucket. When it's time to select an activity, make it a surprise by holding the bucket above their head so they cannot see the writing. Surprise! Today we're going to...
