Well today is the day! It is the last day of school for the kids of the Toronto District School Board! Woohoo! Roo is done with grade 4! As a grading present one of the things that works for me is a summer fun bag…what’s that?
Well I fill a backpack with everything Roo needs for summer fun, and I did it without breaking the bank too. Bought her a new backpack for $5 (on sale-gotta love clearance) and then bought the stuff to fill it. This year the pack includes: a new swimsuit(another clearance find), new flip flops(on sale), a set of Nerf balls and guns, a water gun, tattoos, bubbles and chalk…..everything to keep a ten year old content and playing this summer!
For me the idea of a summer fun bag simply works. The contents keep her content and busy playing for at least the first few days of summer. It is a fun way to start the summer off with a bang!
Now I am off to read what is working for everyone else this week here..

Fun idea. It wouldn’t last long around here but I like the idea for the first day of summer – as a Happy Summer gift for each kid.

Hmmm – maybe rotating what’s in the bag through the summer would keep it fresh? Fun idea.
