Summer has arrived! Time for Camp Au Pair!!
Let’s make a bucket list!
Summer has arrived! Kids are home! Time to get your plans written down and make the most out of your summer days with your host kids! Here’s a great way to make sure you have lots of fun, perhaps learn some new things, and make a bunch of memories together!
Start by creating a bucket list! Bucket lists are a great way to brainstorm a bunch of ideas and then make them happen! Check out some great bucket list ideas like this one or this fun one!
Now for some under the sea fun!! Most of these activities are easily created using items likely already around the house, but you may need to plan ahead a bit to have supplies on hand! Check with your host family about getting supplies to use!
Create a sensory beach exploration pool!
Practice scissor skills with this super cute octopus craft!
How about some under the sea slime?
How about paper bag jellyfish? Toilet paper rolls transformed into a school of fish? So many great ideas! Check them out on the Au air in America Pinterest boards here!
Webcams – You can do a google search for aquariums and zoos across the country (and world) with webcams which allow you to observe sea creatures. Here is one to get you started.
Videos – Look for fun videos on YouTube about sea creatures. There’s more to see than Baby Shark. You can learn 10 Fun Facts About Turtles in this video. Movies like Finding Nemo, Dolphin Tale and the Little Mermaid also go well with this theme.
Books – Stop by your local library and look for books on sea creatures. The Rainbow Fish is a classic children’s book, your kids may already own.
