I separated it out into a few fun categories: Make (crafts and food), Explore (getting out of the house) and Play/Watch (games and what to check out on TV) to make it easy to choose something to do. Many of these ideas we have done as a family (or are planning to do).
So here is my Family Fun Inspiration list for the month of September, I hope it inspires you.
P.S. This was last year’s version.
