I thought I’d leave you with a round up of all my favorite patriotic activities and posts from over the years in case you’re looking for a little inspiration. Here are some more posts to explore:

It finally feels like summer!
School is officially out and we just finished one of those weekends that just gives me all of the summer feels. There were celebrations, late nights, laughing with friends and family, pool splashes and a little too much sun. Today I’m sporting new tan lines and typing away while I sit on our patio, ugh it’s just perfection. Everything feels more relaxed, longer days let us slow down a bit, and I know I’m smiling more too. These are all of the summer feels. I know that it’s summer when I can spend too much time reading a book, eat a bowl of fresh fruit for lunch, stay in my…

My Summer Goals
It’s so easy to look at summer as a never-ending length of time (don’t I wish!), and make way too many plans and goals. This year I’m trying to keep things realistic – but I also have projects that I really want to complete! Here’s what’s on my list for the summer:

Preschool Field Day Games
Field day is a much loved end of the year tradition – it signals summer and warm weather! Children look forward to the opportunity to spend extra time outside playing games with their friends and teachers. Keeping them active and engaged is key to a successful preschool field day. That means finding the right combination of games that are both fun for little ones and fairly simple to set up and run for teachers and parent volunteers. This comprehensive list of game ideas gives tons of options so that you can rotate through them over multiple years! What else would you add?!

Summer Must Haves 2026
I’m so looking forward to summer! Part of that means stocking up on the things that we use over and over all summer long. Here are all of my must-haves for summer 2026! All links are affiliates. Elastic strap swim goggles – My daughter will only wear these goggles. She loves that they cover her nose and that they have the soft elastic strap that doesn’t pull her hair. Handheld digital microscope – This is the best for exploring outside! Children can watch insects, look closely at flowers, tree bark, and blades of grass, and just generally get a better understanding of the world around them. Sand toys with mesh…

Easter Egg Decorating Challenge
I’ve always been a huge fan of open-ended art opportunities, especially for preschoolers. Around the holidays it can be really easy to lean into the more product-based art projects, I get it, they’re adorable and families love them. It’s definitely possible to find a balance! Here’s a fun Easter art activity that encourages creativity and can be displayed in the classroom or at home during the Easter season. This particular art experience is one of my favorite types – Provide the materials and see what the children come up with. Their imaginations and artistic expression blows my mind every single time! I also love activities like these because they can…

Spring Break Staycation
We’re going on another Disney Cruise later this spring and we could not be more excited! Since that trip won’t fall during school’s spring break I’ve been trying to plan some things to make sure that the week off school is still fun. It’s time for a staycation, and that can be a challenge this time of year when the weather still makes it hard to spend much time outside. Here’s what I’ve got up my sleeve for this spring break staycation – and some other ideas that we’ve done in the past. Movie Date – We love to see a movie in the theater. It’s a great way to…

Spirit Days for Preschool
Whenever things are starting to feel a little stagnant in the classroom I plan a spirit week. A week full of fun themed days seems to shake everyone up and help us find a little more fun together. I’ve built a great list of ideas for themes that are easy for families to participate in and tons of fun for kids too. If you’re looking for new spirit week themes I’ve not you covered!
