Fun Summer Activities

At AoFC we love families. 

We also love to have fun! 

Below is some fun activities that are cheap, fun, and family friendly to do at home with your children! We want to give you some ideas for those "boring, summer days" that you might experience! These activities will not only be fun for your child but it will allow you to have some quality time with them without having to put much effort or money into it!

Bubble Snakes

What child does not love bubbles?! This activity uses items that you can already find laying around your house so there is no cost and can provide endless amounts of fun for your child and family!

Dream Catchers

 Some of our older children at AoFC did this activity in a Prescholar Enrichment class and love it. 

All you need is lid, food coloring, toothpick and elmers glue. 

Instructions:

Step 1. Pour Elmer's Glue into the lid. (cool whip or butter lid works perfect) 

Step 2: Allow your child to drop small amounts of different colors of food coloring into the glue.

Step 3: Drag the toothpick through the glue to make fun designs with the colors. 

Step 4: Allow to dry an then remove from lid. You can hang in a window and the sun will shine through it like stained glass!!!

Bulls Eye

 How simple! All you need is some chalk and wet sponges for this great activity on a warm, summer day! 

Backyard River

This a great 3 and up activity! The entire family can help assemble a river path from tin foil! Put a water hose at one end and let the river begin to flow! Then all you have to do is grab some river supplies like rubber duckies or bath toys that can float down the river! Your child might even get you wet with some extra splashes! 

Here is a link to some more awesome activities that you could do as a family!
