Include one activity per day that can be done by family members of all ages. Activities can be food related, craft related, story related, game related, indoor or outdoor based, free or minimal cost. Be sure to include a lot of variety in your selections.

Type the name of the activity in the calendar space and link it to specific examples, directions, videos, recipes, etc. for reference.
