Keeping kids busy and active is the key to success for those long summer days!<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When kids are out of school for the summer, it doesn\u2019t take long for them to become bored. Boredom leads to sibling squabbles and mischief! Children don’t realize how much they miss the routine and predictability in their daily schedule. One solution is to make fun plans to keep them busy! Make Camp Au Pair!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have a ready list of easy, fun activities that you can do with your host children. Get prepared for the upcoming week by getting a list of what is needed and asking the host parents for help in purchasing your supplies.
\nUse your Au Pair In America resources to find activities and ideas. Check your Au Pair portal\u00a0 for \u201c150 Things to Do with Children\u201d. This is jammed with super ideas.<\/p>\n

My favorite outside activity is making super planet size bubbles, using a homemade bubble recipe. Ask your host dad to bend wire coat hangers into large circles with a handle. Outside on the driveway, pour the bubble mix into a shallow dish large enough for the circular coat hanger. A clean trash can lid works great. See how large you get can your bubbles to float!<\/p>\n

Create your own bubble solution by gently combining 1 cup dish soap, 1 tbsp glycerine and 4 cups water in a large bucket.<\/p>\n
