Summer is when families get to spend the most time together. It’s an opportunity to laugh together, learn together, and make some lasting memories. That’s why we here at the Night Light Stories household are sharing an activity a day that you can do together as a family. We’ve already shared activities such as building a rain gauge, creating a birds’ nest, and using patterns to make yummy fruit kabobs. You can find details to all of these activities over at the facebook page. If you do one of these activities, share with others by leaving a comment or picture. We’d love to see your summer creations!
