This is the perfect idea to help your Happy Home have the best summer ever!!
The What Can I Do? Can!
First, you need a can!
Any can will do. I used a can leftover from the Happy Buddy’s rice cereal days. It had a really cute lime green lid.
Then I covered it with some cute summer-themed scrapbook paper from the Dollar Bins at Target and a label.
Next comes the fun part!
Cut up the 6 sets of cards – you can download them at the bottom of this post – and place them in your What Can I Do? Can.
Pick one card whenever your Happy Home needs an adventure during those long, hot summer days and follow the instructions!
Each card has a mission (Do This) and an opportunity for you to take a picture (Snap This) of you doing something specific pertaining to the mission. The point is that with each mission you complete, you will take a picture and then add the picture to a special summer photo album! So hit up Wal-Mart for a cute, inexpensive album and get started!
By Labor Day you will have an album full of fun – plus the memories of an unforgettable summer!!!
The cards are broken into 3 categories to help you organize when and what you will do.
Fun At Home (cheap excitement around the house) – 
Magic in the City (requires some traveling around town) – 
And Operation Others cards (these are my favorite because they inspire the Happy Buddies to think about others – one of God’s greatest commands for us!)

Way cute! I am making one for me and a friend! Thank you so much for sharing! My Happy Buddy and I are going to have so much fun this summer.
That is such a GREAT idea! Last summer the Happy Buddy gave What Can I Do? Cans to everyone who invited him to their bday party that summer! It was always a hit!!!
Thank you!
These are great! Thanks for a wonderful idea – I always have a huge supply of empty coffee cans around, so this is perfect! I’m going ot share the link to your post on my blog. Hope that’s ok.

This is fabulous and I just shared a picture and link to it on my site! Hope that’s okay! Here’s the link if you wanted to take a look! Thank you SO much for sharing this idea and the printables! http://aturtleslifeforme.blogspot.com/2011/05/summer-fun-lists.html
Love this and I have already printed them out and created our can. Was wondering if you are going to offer some blank templates so we can add some of our own ideas or create cards to go with your other activities (thinking of the marshmallow building specifically!)?
This is a good idea
Wonderful ideas to use when the grandkids stay over.
