No, not a bucket list—just a coffee can with craft sticks. Write each idea on a craft stick. The kiddos are gambling whenever they draw a popsicle! Here are ideas! We have used the summer to make Christmas presents!
1. Clean your room. (Be sure to return this craft stick to the coffee can!)
2. Hula Hoop.
3, Read one chapter from a classic or a book for the library Summer Reading Program-useful all summer. (Make extra reading craft sticks for the coffee can.)
4. Make or use your own sidewalk chalk (or these) to make a chalk mural outside. Alternatively, chalk bodies and pretend it’s a crime scene.
5. Unload the dishwasher or start a load of laundry—free choice!
6. Jump rope.
7. Sweep the porch, drive, deck, or sidewalk or wash the car.
8. Play Cat’s Cradle
9. Assemble a puzzle or make your own puzzle.
10. Take funny (or beautiful) photos and print them. Now start making Decoupaged, Craft-Stick, Nature Art, or 15 frames—ideal presents!
11. Clean the bathroom. (Another craft stick which should return to the coffee can.)
12. Make popsicle stick bracelets and decorate them with embroidery floss, markers or washi tape.
13. Make a LEGO Frame or a DIY LEGO frame—an excellent present!
14. Make homemade vanilla extract. Put it away as a Christmas present.
15. Learn to Knit or Crochet. Woobles have free Amigurumi patterns. Crochet slippers as a present.
16. Play chalk games.
17. Build LEGO flowers. Walmart and Target have sales. Buy inexpensive glass vases at the thrift store.
18. Make a Craft Stick Chain Reaction.
19. Ride your bike.
20. DIY muslin bags with sharpies. Grandma may get a library bag for Christmas.
21. Make soup mix in a jar in big batches! Look for gift jar ideas. So many presents!
