School is almost out for the summer! For us, our official last day of school and summer kick off isn’t until the end of June but the kids are so excited and counting down the days. Not only do I like to be extra and send the kids off for summer with a fun little gift, but I’ve also been known to ambush the kids when they’re getting off the bus on the last day of school with some water balloons or squirt guns (you can see it here). It’s a fun little tradition I started to commence summer break. Scroll down below for my “Hope your summer is a blast” free printable tag and gift.
