Extend the Fun
For younger kids: Make a sign that spells your name, your initials, your pet’s name, or your family’s last name. When relatives or friends visit, make a WELCOME banner.
For older kids: Are you selling things this summer, or putting on a play? The same kind of sign, with different words, works at your lemonade stand, farm stand, flower mart, or summer theater.
