Each summer we spend time day-tripping, traveling to visit family, and having fun at summer camp! When my kids are 5+ they usually get to spend a week or two attending local science/arts based day camps (like Camp Galileo).
Before they are old enough to go to day camp, we always host a camp mom and a few weeks of Virtual Book Club Summer Camp! This year is especially exciting because I am the Camp Director AND Toddler Specialist at our VBC Summer Camp! I'll be sharing 5 toddler activities each week and fun toddler-friendly book lists! This is different from past years when we just shared general activities for kids ages 2-5 with a few suggested modifications for younger kids. Kim from The Educators' Spin On It will be sharing ideas for kids ages 3-5 and Cerys from Rainy Day Mum will be sharing activities for kids ages 6-9. All activities will be adaptable for all ages though! It will be awesome!
