The KIT includes a ton of ideas for summer activities and they are color coded based on type of activity. I printed everything out, organized in baggies and then let the kids each pick something for us to do this week. I wanted to go ahead and plan out the week just in case I needed to gather any particular supplies in advance. For instance, we are going to talk about clouds on Thursday, so I'll make sure we get to the library to get some books, take some picture of clouds, do a cloud cotton ball picture, etc.
Owen woke up this morning and the first thing he said was, " Mommy, is today the first day of our summer of fun?"

The lady (we called her "grandma" )that kept Kristen and Kaitlyn from the time they ere born until about 4 years old along with her own granddaughter who was Kristen's age used to go to our public library and they had "kits" to check out with stuff similar to that. They were grouped into categories I think (like animals, letters, etc.). She could check them out for free, almost like a home-schooling kit for pre-schoolers. Of course now we have the internet which is a vast encyclopedia in itself and you never even have to leave your house!!
