| Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with new and fun ideas for a tween. But one of the things I LOVE about this age, is that they do still have that desire to just be a kid sometimes, and you can tap into this. Especially in the summertime. We had a pretty fun week, this week. I signed Jaymi up for a lot of library programmes - she always has a good time at them, we often end up seeing someone that we know, and they're free! This week: - Jaymi went to a Science Venture programme at the library and made some sort of gooey fun substance - we went shopping - we baked sugar cookies with cane sugar - we learned about a history topic that I will discuss next week on my blog - Jaymi learned how to make macrame bracelets at the library - went swimming - watched My Little Pony - got a TON of books out from the library...oh yeah, and some DVD's and audiobooks as well - read a lot - listened to audiobooks - drew - went to Body Shop for "Girls' Night" to get makeovers and free samples, and also stopped for free samples at Teaopia, AND bought Kernels popcorn - watched a reading of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at the library - played a fun new iphone game - just like this one So .......I am instituting "Fun Fridays" on my blog, which will list any fun ideas I have, that your tween might like. Now, not every child will like every idea, but hopefully there are some ideas that you will find useful for your family. Also, feel free to add your own ideas by commenting at the end of the post. - Kid Car Wash 50 Water Balloon Ideas Frisbee Tic-Tac-Toe Homemade Rock Candy Fun Pool Game Water Balloon Horizontal Tether Ball Snow Cone in a Bag Frozen Potato Water Balloon Paddle Ball Sidewalk Chalk Tracing Box Have you tried any of these ideas? |

Scavenger hunt.. I love this one because as a Mom with kids of different ages, I can tailor it to each child. .. add it to a walk in a place you have never been before :)

Yes - I forgot about that one! Kids love scavenger hunts and you can even make one up on the fly if you want to.
