Make Your Own Summer Bucket List -50 fun Summer activities

My kids have only 3 1/2 weeks left of school. Seriously, how did that happen? It seems like the older I get the faster the years go. This summer I want to be more prepared. It always seems like the kids are out of school for the summer for a whole 5 minutes and they are already saying, "I'm Bored". I totally get it. In school, they are entertained for 7 hours a day and then summer comes and moms just can't entertain for that many hours straight.

I decided to make a kids Summer Bucket List. Some of the items are things that we need to do as a family, but you can also add items that they can do all on their own. Things like read a book, write a story, make a fort, etc. You could even sit down with your kids and have them write their own bucket list and they can each make their own bucket customized to their summer.

Make Your Own Summer Bucket List

Supplies
Bucket
Vinyl
Cricut
Cardstock
Clothespin- Glitter Clothespin Tutorial HERE

I have four kids ages 2-11 so I wanted to make my bucket in a way that they would all be able to know what the activities on our bucket are so I used my Cricut machine to also add fun shapes.

Directions

1. With your Cricut Machine, cut out coordinating shapes for each activity. Glue die cut onto clothes pin. This step is optional.

2. On the back of your Clothespin (or front if you skipped step one) Write the name of the activity with a sharpie.

3. With your Cricut Machine, Cut out "Summer Bucket List" on Vinyl. You could also use a name if you are making one for each kid. Ex. "Lily's Summer Bucket List".

4. Apply Vinyl to Bucket

5. Clip Clothespin along the top of your bucket.

6. When you have completed an activity, unclip from the top of bucket and put inside of bucket.

7. Have the coolest summer ever!
