No More... "I'm Bored"... This Summer! As summer approaches, most parents are looking for ways to fill their children's days with fun educational value. Too often we hear, "I'm bored!" from our children and they look to us, as parents, to find solutions to their entertainment. While children are perfectly capable of finding ways to amuse themselves, it can't hurt to provide a little help.

This summer, there is a new option to add to your daily routine - Smarty Pants Camps Parents, teachers, and other child educators can use this program as a fun way to keep children learning.

And, it's not just about learning. The benefit of committing a small amount of time each day to spend with your children is invaluable! Children look forward to the program each day because it is fun and they have special individual time with you. These memories will last a life time.

So, what is it?

Each program is a set of reading adventures focused on specific units of study. Each set includes:

• a themed set of reading books
• educational activities

Daily activities are age-appropriate, interactive ideas, which make learning fun and typically take an hour or less. Because of this, you can choose to use the kit only on weekends if that fits your schedule better. The goal is for every child to be excited about learning!

There is nothing as special as seeing a child's face light up when they learn something new.

During these weeks, the children are working on specific skills: imagination, fine-motor skills, sequencing, visual-spatial awareness, artistic abilities, following directions, math skills and self-expression. All the Ten Terrific Weeks programs follow similar format.

Fill your summer days with fun educational activities that come from reading books!
