Hello PJ Library family!

Before your children have a chance to say, "Mom, I'm boooored!" join them in some dependable, safe and enjoyable summer activities. These are my top five:
 
5. Go play outside: Decorate a ball with markers and try to catch it using towels, master the jump rope, or make up new rules for kickball.
 
4. Hold a car wash: Park your car in the driveway and let your child give it a good scrub with a bucket of soapy water, a sponge, and the garden hose.
 
3. Head to the beach: Slather on the sunblock, grab your shades, pack some snacks, make sandcastles, and ride the waves.
 
2. Savor the Summer Nights : Spending a starlit summer night with your family, chasing fireflies, eating s'mores, and sleeping in a tent in your backyard.
 
1. Send your child to Summer J-Camp at the Dwares JCC: The last three weeks of camp are sure to please. Join us as we conclude the season with a c arnival & family Shabbat picnic on August 19.
