FuN SuMmEr IDEAS!


I've come across some fun summer ideas and I'm just going to post them. My kids are still too young for a lot of them but I'm hoping that I can recall this post later in life (hopefully next summer) and try those that I can't get to now!

Have a treasure hunt! It can be in the backyard or park, wherever. Burry fun things in general areas depending on your kids age and ability and let them run and dig it up! Some fun things to burry are a bottle of bubbles, a pack of gum, some stickers, or water guns

Just add water to traditional games like water volleyball with water balloons and a towel, or sponge tag!

Make Frozen treats!- Frozen fruit smoothies blend yogurt and milk and frozen fruit together and freeze it. They'll have fun helping and eating their creation plus it's a fun memory!

Go to a concert or play especially if it's in the evening or outdoors. Parents and kids enjoy this stuff, also any parades that are going on are always a kid favorite

Have a cupcake day! Make 2 dozen cupcakes and decorate them as crazy and fun as you can, then eat some and take the rest to a neighbor or friend!

Visit the zoo or museum and let the kids take some of the pictures!

Have a garage sale and take the money to do something fun that's been planned by the family!

Go to a local river and let your kids wade in it, let them find cool rocks or shells and then have a picnic.

Take a fun daytrip.. I found this website call tripadvisor.com/tankofgas it's somewhere you can get on a tank of gas in your local area.

Do a lemonade stand.

Make a fort in the house and then let the kids sleep in it!

Go to the pond and feed the ducks, my kids absolutely love this, and so do I.

These are a few ideas that I found, I added some of my own too. Good luck entertaining those children all summer. It's my favorite time of year and I hate to let even one day of summer go to waste!
