Summer Activity Wall

For the last couple of weeks in July, our activity wall is going to become an ice cream cone. This is a very easy wall to create.

We started with a piece of brown felt. I cut it into the shape of a cone. I then drew my best interpretation of a scoop of ice cream.

We traced the scoop onto colors of construction paper. Each of the scoops will represent an activity for each day. They will take a different scoop of ice cream and add it to the cone. After adding the scoop, we will do an activity that is posted on our Summer Crafts board on Pinterest.

To decorate the scoops, we colored on some fudge swirls, colored sprinkles, and chocolate chips.

Dog Days of Summer Activity Wall

For the last couple of weeks of summer vacation, we created a "Dog Days of Summer" activity wall. I just drew a dog house on large white paper and painted it with tempera paint. I found dog shape cut-outs at the Dollar Tree. Each dog and bone has an activity written on it. Every day we will pick a dog "activity" to place in the dog house.

The activities we chose were: Go to the beach, Go on a picnic, Summer photo shoot, Sun paper craft, Clothespin animals, Celebrate Cupcake Day on Aug. 20th, Do a science experiment, Scuba diver craft, Make musical instruments, Make beach frames, Giant ice cube dig, Build indoor fort.
