33 Activities for Your Summer Bucket List!
It’s the end of the school year and kids are so excited to be free of the confines of learning in the classroom for the summer. For right brain kids, summer break is especially significant because many of them have spent the school year feeling stifled, misunderstood and not good enough. Summer is the perfect time to get them outside moving around and creating to fill their right brain needs. I have found 34 activities to help you get the summer off to a great start.
