Do you remember what your summers were like when you were a kid? Playing outside, going to the park, visiting the zoo, spending time at the beach or lake. Basically being IN nature. It was pretty awesome (most of the time) and definitely something that I feel lacks in kids lives today. Yes, even my own kids. So I decided to compile a list of experiences I would like my young kids to experience, which you can use too in this free printable Summer Bucket List for Toddlers.
What is a Bucket List and Why complete one?
If you have never heard of a summer bucket list (or just a plain ol’ bucket list) before, it is really pretty simple. It is a list of experiences that you want to try. The adult version is items you want to do before you pass. Many people make bucket lists for places they want to travel. I have a pretty long travel bucket list myself! Bucket lists can be for ANY experiences you want to try.
Why complete a bucket list? It is a fun way to experience different things with your family or friends! For kids a bucket list helps you keep a tally of all the different things they are getting to try. It is a way to make wonderful memories with your family. Plus, you can make your bucket list super simple, low key and low cost. It can be whatever works best for you and your family.
The bucket list below is a mixture of free and paid experiences. You can complete whatever you would like! Even better make up some of your own.
