Summer is usually filled with all things red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, so I put together some fun crafts and activities to keep little hands busy while strengthening those fine motor skills before school starts up in the fall!
Reading and math take a back seat during the summer months as we find ourselves enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Don't get me wrong, we still do those things, but our school year "routine" flies out the window.
No weekly themes, no lesson plans-- just "flyin' by the seat of our pants so to speak.
However, we do still find time to make various crafts and art projects, which come in handy during the hot afternoons or after several days in the sun.
