Easy Ways to Keep Your Kids Busy This Summer

Are the kiddos driving you NUTS yet?

Entertaining them for three months can be a little daunting, right?

Don’t fret, my pet.

I polled other mom's to gather a few tricks to give you some ideas!

Paint old T-shirts and sneakers.
Have a tie-dye DIY afternoon
Make homemade slime
Go on a family bike ride
Enjoy a science project while making bath bombs or cleaning wipes.
Plant trees together.
Teach your kids to garden.
Encourage them to do a fundraiser, my favorite is a Freedom Feet campaign
Plan a scavenger hunt in your backyard where your kids have to find something that represents every color of the rainbow.
Break out the sidewalk chalk and teach them how to hop-scotch
Create a mini spa day at home while everyone enjoys a foot soak
Have a backyard camp out and watch a movie in a tent or homemade fort
Go on nature walks and use this app to identify and learn about different plants and flowers
Spend the night star gazing with a cool star-gazing app in the app store to identify constellations and planets.
Introduce them to roller skating
Make No Churn 3 Ingredient Ice Cream
Have them help an elderly or handicapped neighbor with yardwork
Create a vision board using items from around the house.
Journal things they’re grateful for
Spend the afternoon volunteering

Now if you are not wanting the games perhaps this blog from last year with some Podcasts for Kids might be more your speed.

And if you're headed to the beach or lake or backyard, perhaps these games & activities might help too. Beach Toy Roundup post
