A few weeks ago, the kids and I made our summer bucket list and posted it on the chalkboard wall. Even though so many people now have chalk walls, it is still one of the main things people talk about when they visit our home for the first time. One of the easiest projects, was one of the most impactful for this space! It’s so fun to change it out for the seasons with little kids. The daily visual reminder helps us with “what should we do today?” Here is how to create a chalkboard summer fun bucket list.
Festive and Fun Bucket List
My kids look forward to this list every year. We don’t get to everything, every summer, but it makes for a nice blueprint and the kids talk about it every.single.day. This summer is the first summer that will feel a bit shorter because both kids will be starting elementary in mid-August. I know this summer is going to blow by and we intend to enjoy every single minute! Using bright colored sidewalk chalk, I like to be create and fun when making these lists. An artisit I am not, but I do like things to look festive!
I painted this chalk wall about 18 months ago. I have been able to get it pretty clean with soap and water, but it just doesn’t have that crisp, chalkboard look anymore. That’s the nature of a chalk wall, so I’ll probably have to refresh it at some point.
Do you have big plans for the summer? If you are local to Kansas City, I hope our summer bucket list gives you some fresh ideas! xo
I cant get enough of chalk board walls and you have definately put yours to good use! What a great idea 🙂

Thanks Delaney! I will stop by your blog now!
What a cheerful way to keep your list nearby as a reminder of all the fun to come. Checking things off the list will be fun too – sounds like you will be busy this summer.
So nice to meet you.
