Summer Activity Pick Sticks

Hey friends!

Here’s a fun little craft you can do with your kiddos to fill your summer with great memories!

Simply grab a pack of jumbo craft sticks and write an activity on each one. You can use a labelmaker or simply write with a Sharpie pen.

I included 20 local activities to Moore Co, NC but there are 30 activities that can be done anywhere. I recommend drawing 5 activities on the Sunday before each week so you have time to plan each day and gather any materials you might need.

I also color coded mine so I know which activities are free or require some type of purchase.

If you draw an activity that just doesn’t fit into your week well, there’s no harm in putting it back and redrawing another stick.

And finally, a big thank you to Minimalism and Motherhood for this idea and Sandhills Nanny Co for sponsoring this post!! If you need any childcare throughout the summer, be sure to connect with them to find your perfect caregiver!
