We’re all looking for more ways to keep our little ones entertained engaged and educated during the Summer Break from school. Beat the Summer heat by exploring the fun outdoor activities in your community that keep the family cool. Stay safe and have fun!
Berry Picking
Find a local blueberry or strawberry farm near your home and take the whole family for an outdoor adventure. This fun activity is perfect for a photo opportunity and provides a delicious treat to bring back home. Take it up a notch by making blueberry pancakes in the morning!
Nature Walks
Take the family on a nature walk for some fresh air. Make it a challenge and create a nature scavenger hunt! Encourage your children to look for rocks, pinecones, leaves, and flowers! This is also a great way to teach your children to respect the earth and appreciate it’s beauty.
Glamping
Take the great outdoors into your backyard thanks to the Glamping! Sleepovers & Co. is ready to set up the camping scene of your dreams with our gorgeous teepees and party favors. The experience of the outdoors can be replicated at home with the magic of our team!
Soccer at the park
Throw it back to the old days of taking a soccer ball to the park with your friends! Perfect for a sunny day, this activity can get the entire family out of the house for some fun. If soccer isn’t your thing, pick up a basketball or frisbee to get the kids moving.
Historic Sites
Google search to see what historical sites are near your home. Pack the family into the car and head out on a road trip to give your children and educational adventure! You never know what magic lies in your own community.
Have a Picnic
Make lunch extra fun and take it outside for a picnic! Find a local park with tables or bring your own large blanket to a nearby field for some fun with food. As an added bonus, consider an ice cream treat when you get home!
Take photos outside
Remember this time forever by taking your kiddos outside for a photoshoot! This doesn’t have to be a professional shot, it just has to be fun! To make it extra special, let your little ones pick out their own outfit! Let their personalities shine through self-expression.
Fly a Kite
These windy summer days are perfect for flying kites! Pick out a colorful kite with your little ones and wait for the windiest day to let it fly. This fun activity never gets old especially with little ones waiting for moments of magic in the day.
Birdwatching
You might be surprised what birds are native to your own community. Take a walk outside and listen for bird sounds. Once you hear them look closely in the trees to try and spot them. Take turns attempting to identify the birds, you never know what you might see!
Plant Something In the Garden
Give your kids the gift of a green thumb by teaching them about gardening! This fun hobby gets kids out of the house and into the dirt, in a good way! Planting something and watching it grow can be extremely rewarding for a child. Your family will be so excited the first time you can pick something from your garden and take a bite. Kids excited about vegetables? Who would’ve thought!
We can’t wait to see what fun you and your family get into this summer. As we all work to safely social distance and keep our loved ones healthy, there are still so many ways to make these moments magical with your little ones.
