Summer activity jar.

The Pickle has been on school vacation for less than a week. Technically, I was only home with him 2 of these days (plus Saturday and Sunday, which don't count because I would have had him anyway). Summer vacation is already kicking my butt.
The Pickle has found a deep love for Lego's, which is awesome. But, he needs a little help building the models if he hasn't done it a few times. Last time we were at D's parents he got out all his old Lego's and let Pickle bring the universal building set home. Which I love. BUT... we didn't get all the pieces and these are pretty complicated models so Pickle needs some help building them or at least identifying the pieces. The Chickadee currently LOVES being outside. Walking up and down the side walk, painting with water, drawing with chalk, sliding exploring etc.
Here in lies the problem. Lego's.... not so much and outside toy. Chickadee... not so much an inside girl.
So my goal this summer is to come up with a list of activities that we all can do together, on the days that I am home that will peak both interests. Or at least something that we can do outside to burn a little daylight.
Here is the list I've come up with so far. I'm always looking for more suggestions and things to add.

• Make sun tea
• Make Popsicles
• Modge podge rocks
• Make a pinata
• Eat lunch and Bob Evans
• Make soap crayons
• Have a picnic
• Play find the red rock
• Have a scavenger hunt
• Go to the park
• Go to the library
• Paint
• Make Popsicle stick puppets
• Make cereal box houses
• Make tin can lanterns
• Make marble runs out of recycle bin.
• Color pasta/make jewelry
• Make chalk paint
• Make cardboard robots
• Decorate pillow cases
• Bake a cake
• Bake cookies
• Make a pie
• Make suncatchers
• Make sunprints
• Go on a rock hunt
• Make a volcano
• Play does it sink? does it float?
• Make rock candy
• Archaeological dig
• Make a bug catcher and catch/identify bugs

Some of these things will keep us busy for a while some will be a few minutes and we can move onto something else. I need to start stashing some supplies around.
