My article presents a unique idea that prompts your readers to create colorful flowers upon which they write playful goals for the summer. The result is a flower garden that becomes a wealth of learning in the spring, and inspiration over the summer.

Summer vacation is fast approaching! The thought sends both thrills and chills down any parent’s spine. It’s a season that makes memories to be sure, but at the same time challenges parents to keep kids busy for up to 73 days! Your family may find that summer vacation goes a bit smoother with “Spring Tulips” to guide your way. These flowers hold playful goals, and will record your family’s most memorable activities as the summer flies by around you.

“Spring Tulips” are easy and fun for any family to do. First cut out a few dozen tulips, or other flower-shaped form, from construction paper. The resulting flower should be between three and four inches long, in order to fit a sentence or two. You’ll also need to designate an area of a wall, refrigerator, or other open space, where these flowers will be displayed.

Throughout the spring, encourage your family to come up with fun activities that they would like to do over the summer. Especially if the weather is still keeping you indoors, this is a great mental escape for everyone. It´s an enjoyable activity at dinner, or when tucking little ones in at night. By the end of spring, try to have 20 or 30 ideas with each activity written on one flower. Feel free to be creative and come up with things your family uniquely enjoys. They can be as complicated as “take a cruise”, or as basic as “play with water balloons in the backyard”. Often, the simpler the idea the better, and definitely the more flowers the greater the fun! Once you have all your spring-tulips filled out, tape them up in the area you’ve set aside. Ideally you should display them just before the start of summer vacation…
