Every summer our family creates a bucket list of things we want to do for the summer. Creating a bucket list is a way for us to kick off the season and anchor our activities for the summer months. You can also read how bucket lists have helped me in the past eliminate mom guilt!
This year I wanted to create a special Summer Bucket List Printable Poster that your family could use and enjoy.
I worked with a fabulous UK illustrator, Sally Payne, to make this charming poster. I love all the summer elements – from watermelons to sunglasses, palm trees to sea creatures, it screams summer and is a joy for kids to alike. I'll admit helping with a few of the elements too.
How to Use the Summer Bucket List Poster
The focus of the poster are the twelve polaroid spots designed for your bucket list. Write one item per picture. Then draw the activity, or better yet, add a photo as you do the activity. By the end of summer, you will have a sweet keepsake of memories.
You can print the poster on 8.5×11, or, I recommend having it printed at a place like Staples to print it as a giant poster. It makes it waaay more fun to color and decorate. It can print up to 24×36! Be sure you select a “blueprint” and it will only be a few dollars to print. You can get square photos printed at Walgreens for your polaroids.

How do you upload to Office Depot/Staples to have it printed? I don’t see a way to save the pdf???
Hi there – once you receive the file in your email, you can download from Google Drive and then upload to the printer of your choice.
When I click on the link and try to download, it tells me there’s an error and doesn’t allow me to access it.
I submitted my email the other day stil haven’t received the email with pink or pdf ☹️
