I think a long summer project would be a good idea. Plant a garden, build a playhouse(if you're up to that), make candles or soaps, do science experiments (you can probably find a book in the libary to help), make Christmas cards, try scrapbooking, or let her use a digital camera (an elementary school I read about gave cameras to kids to photograph the letters of the alphabet, not on signs but in nature and around town. For example, the letter A could be the A-frame on a swing set. They had all kinds of cool results, that included reflections in ponds and shadows, things that you wouldn't see just any time of day.
