Yesterday, we had our enrichment and it was a lady that gave cheap/free ideas on what to do in the summer with little kids. She had some really great ideas. So, I thought I'd share them! And if anyone has other ideas, PLEASE share! I'm always looking for ways to entertain toddler age kids!
Free In the Area
~Edwards does free movies, Tuesday thru Thursday. To see what movies they are, go to regal.com and it is under some tab that is family friendly summers, something like that.
~There are TONS and TONS of parks. You could basically go to a park a week, and never run out in the area.
~Splash park, in Rexburg. It is free and entertaining!
~Library, they have a reading program for kids that don't read, kids that do, and for mommy's!
~the Visitor's center. There is a scavenger hunt in there that you can do! All you need to do is ask the missionaries in there!
~The Teton Dam museum (more for older kids/adults)
~Hiking, cress creek, warm river, Hell's half acre, Mesa Falls, etc.
~Huckleberry picking
Things at home
~There are lots of websites out there with coloring/tracing pages! It's important not to let your kids brains get mushy!!
~Make your own hand puppets, crafts, etc.
~Cooking School, each week, let one child pick a recipe that they want to try and let the kids help. there are tons of kid cookbooks at the library that you can check out!
~Have an activity jar that you can choose from after chores.
Hope you enjoyed the list, and can find something to do off of it!

Great ideas! Thanks for passing hem along!
I love those ideas - your mom was telling me the other day, about having a weekly theme and then doing things all week that were related to that theme . . . she's so clever!! It can be quite a challenge to keep a 2 year old busy without costing a lot! Love you.
