Summer Bucket List

on


I was on Pinterest the other day and ran across a bunch of posts about summer bucket lists. I love the idea of having one, so the children and I decided we were going to come up with our own. At first we thought we would use the clothespin and bucket idea, but then my son suggested doing something with magnets instead. This is what we came up with.

I hot glued to button magnet to the back of the bucket (we bought at Michael's) and printed up the list below on a piece of ProMAG Color-A-MAG (magnetic paper; also purchased at Michael's). Then we cut the list out and placed it on the fridge. Now every time we do an activity from our list we place it in the bucket. I save the extra strips of magnets in case the kids came up with anything else they wanted to do this summer. That way they could just write it down on a strip and add it to the bucket when finished. The kids love it and brother is nice enough to help sissy when it's her turn.
