Sensory Summer Activities to help Combat the Summer Slide
Have you heard of the "Summer Slide?" If you have kiddos that are in school during the year, the Summer Slide is known as that time when children aren't actively learning, and experience a learning loss when they're out of school.

Scentco Art Supplies and Water Magic Activity Books
Upgrade your child’s arts and crafts with these amazing scented tools from Scentco! With Smencils, Smens, and Smarkers, each pack offers a variety of unique scents, adding a whole new level of fun to writing or coloring!
Discover the magic of Water Magic and creative sensory exploration with these activity books that burst with vibrant color when wet and then vanish when dry.
Water Magic is an activity book that is perfect for travel days in the car or on the plane. Fill the brush with water and apply it to the scene boards to watch the colors magically appear! Let it dry for 5 minutes and you can do it over and over again.
The brush is scented to match the theme of the book too! A great idea for summer road trips (hopefully to visit Grandma!), these Water Magic books are the perfect no-mess activity that end the question, "Are we there yet?"
They're also a super fun activity for little ones who are stuck indoors on rainy summer days! My grandson Jameson and I had a lot of fun with these Water Magic books the last time I babysat! (Please note that you pour water into the "paintbrush," but Jameson wanted to dip it into the water anyway. But it's not necessary!)
- Contains 2 Water Magic activity books
- Strawberry scented
- Lemon scented
- 4 Water Magic scene boards per scent
- Ages 3+
Available on ScentcoCo.com and on Amazon.com for $9.99 - $15.99!
