Keep a written journal tracking watering, sunlight, and growth of a houseplant or garden plant — sketching leaves and noting changes builds patience, observation skills, and a sense of responsibility.

Rhythm Stick Drumming
Tap out beats on pots, boxes, and tabletops with a pair of sticks or wooden spoons, following along with songs or making up your own rhythms. An energetic, musical way to burn off energy at home.

Room Reorganizing
Move your furniture around, try new layouts, and make your room feel brand new. Rearranging your own space is a fun summer project that lets you plan, measure, and create a room that feels totally yours.
