One of the most important things we can give our kids is quality time with them- which can be tricky with school, soccer practice, dance lessons and homework! I LOVE that the kid date ideas in this binder set are super easy to use & prep, and are seriously ADORABLE! The fabulous Courtney, designer at Paperelli, created these colorful, bright printables that include games, activities, conversation starters and more. Your kids are going to FREAK OUT with excitement at these fun dates! You can print and prep all the dates at once, so when your special date night arrives, all you have to do is grab the printables and go! And these fun kid date ideas are all conveniently stored in a binder to make them easy to find and keep together. We want to show you EVERYTHING in this pack, but there’s A LOT, so buckle up!!
Binder Covers Planning Schedule Parent-Child Contract Memory Pages
The first section of the printable kit includes colorful pages to decorate the front, back and spine of a regular binder. This binder is what will hold all of your date night printables for the year! There is also a schedule to plan out your dates night, to make sure they happen, and sweet little “contract” for you and your child to sign! We also created memory pages so that you can add photos and write down memories. After your year of date is finished, this binder has a purpose as a keepsake to look back on! So let’s get to these darling kid date ideas!
