Top 5 Tips to Help Parents Plan for Summer

Keep your little ones entertained and engaged through summertime learning! Check out these 5 tips for planning a great summer for your kids!

1. Get in touch with your kid's teachers

Catch up with your child's teachers to reflect on how the school year went. You'd be interested to know how your kid improved and what activities he/she loved doing. It's a great opportunity to hear their observations, and for you to learn what strategies and teaching approaches worked well for your kid. Ask what skills and areas of improvement that you could help strengthen during summer.

2. Make summer into a project and set goals

Take into consideration what you have learned from your conversations with your child's teachers. If you know his/her future teachers, it's good to get summer activity recommendations that can help maintain engagement or prepare your little one for the next school year.

The next thing that you'd like to do is to sit with your kid and plan the summer together! Set expectations and keep a schedule. Help your child picture how their summer days should look. Create learning opportunities everyday!

Skills like independence and social skills are important as kids grow up. Gamify their learning by engaging them through active pretend play with our dolls like My Sweet Style Dolls and ToddlerTime Dolls.

3. Spend time outside!

Learning doesn’t have to be restricted to the home! Engage your kid in fun outdoor learning activities that will tickle their imagination and encourage physical movement, problem-solving, coordination, and so much more!

Go for a hike and discover different types of leaves, bugs, rocks and flowers. A nature hike encourages observation skills, fine-motor skills, hand-eye coordination and the use of the five senses.

You and your kid can also start gardening, or simply read a book under a tree with our sunlight-activated, hair color-changing 14-inch Be Bright Dolls!

4. Schedule Playdates with familiar faces

Catch up with other parents of your child's classmates and see if they'd be interested for fun play dates over the summer. This is a great opportunity to keep your little love connected with his/her friends in class, and continue building friendship with them outside of school.

Our doll accessories like Twinkle Stars Small Umbrella Stroller, Sunny Days Diaper Bag, and Glitter Car Seat Carrier can level up your child's doll play date.

5. Have fun together!

Lastly, have fun together! Summer is a good time for your child to enjoy himself/herself and relax. Enjoy these special moments with him/her and have a good laugh together. Capture memories of summer for your kid to remember and share when they return to school.
