Engaging kids without screens can be tough, especially during these long, hot summer days! Try these strategies to keep kids curious, active, and offline. 🌞 💜 1. Rotate books in and out of your bookshelves, and point book covers outward so kids can see the fresh offerings. Set up a “book shop” at home with the books you already have! 📚 2. Set up a writer's corner and introduce new materials regularly - include everything from crayons to stickers to cool erasers. Collaborate with your child or let them write solo as they pen the next great tale! 📖✍️ 3. Make your own show together inspired by a show you already love! Brainstorm and act out your own episode of a favorite show. Use characters your child loves and imagine new adventures for them right in your own home. Try writing a few lines of dialogue or pulling out some costumes before performing it for other family members (don’t forget the snacks!) 🍿 #SummerReading #Literacy #HometoSchoolBridge
