School is out, summer is here, and the kids are having a blast playing with each other and enjoying the warm weather. Here are some fun ideas for activities you can do with your kids this summer:
- Bake (then enjoy!) something yummy (cookies, muffins, rice krispy treats, brownies, etc)
- Make (then enjoy!) homemade smoothies
- Create arts & crafts
- Color
- Read books
- Work on puzzles
- Run through the sprinklers
- Have a backyard picnic lunch or take a picnic lunch to a nearby park
- Ride bikes
- Go on a hike
- Build indoor tents (with sheets, blankets, etc)
- Play squirt guns
- Have a water balloon fight (although, this one we don’t do often…it’s not easy picking up the popped balloons in the yard after they’ve burst)
Some of these activities are better suited for a rainy summer day or for when it’s too hot to play outside (100+ temps, anyone?).
What summer activities do you like to do with your kids?
