8 Summer Activities Your Kids Will Love

July 8, 2016 by Larissa Coleman

We’re about halfway through the Summer vacation.  Have you started hearing those dreaded words “Mom, we’re bored!” ?  If so, you may want to try out some of these ideas.  If not, they may be worth the effort just to give those kids something to do.

I suggest making a summer list of ideas and items you need to complete the activities then keep the list on you for when you may be near a store for some supplies. Plan ahead your summer activities so you are organized and know what summer outdoor activity or indoor activity you are going to do with your child.

You may like to use the activities as a reward incentive, finish your chores and we will make a summer slip and slide for example. So many fun summer ideas in this list you are sure to find something your child will want to do this summer.

Looking for more summer resources? Check out these Summertime Activity books. A great way to keep the children’s minds busy whilst having a little creative seasonal fun too.
