Welcome to our Fun In the Summertime Series! You can find the rest of the posts here!
You're going to love this roundup of Summer Activities I've put together for you. I have three kids home for the summer, and I don't think I could ever find enough ideas to keep them busy (without breaking the bank!) Read on for some fun (and frugal) activities to keep your kids entertained and you worry-free!
1. Free Summer Reading Programs from Frugal Living Mom. My kids LOVE to read, so I'm all about earning free stuff along the way! These are also great motivation if your kids don't enjoy reading.
2. Dolly Bookmarks from Two Sisters (Review Books). So sweet and easy!
4. Fly Swatter Painting Kid's Craft from Glued To My Crafts. I know two little boys who love to hit things! At least now I can make that impulse into art!
5. Surprise Rocks/Dinosaur Dig from The Kitchen Is My Playground. What a great idea! I want to do this in secret so my kids are truly surprised!
6. DIY Kiddie Car Wash from Mom Endeavors. Anything to help keep cool is a bonus in my book!
7. Summer Backyard Chalk Activities from In the Playground. Saying yes to drawing on the house? Your kids will love you for it!
8. DIY Sponge Bombs from Stockpiling Moms. Again- harness your kids' love of throwing things!
Oh my goodness, my daughters has four children, and she would love to know about this Post that's for sure. I can't wait to email her this link. Thanks for sharing.
These look like some very fun activities for kids to do! I will share this with my sister and we'll do some of these when my niece gets a bit older! Awesome post and thanks for sharing!
I love these ideas. I have SIX kids in my house during the summer and it's pretty much impossible to keep them entertained. I really like that swimming pool fishing idea!!!
These are some awesome ideas for summer time fun for the kids. I love the idea of doing the dinosaur eggs without the kids knowing. I will have to do this for my nieces kids for sure. Thanks for sharing.
The surprise rocks / dinosaur would surely delight them. The fly swat painting would bring out their creative juices. You really have a lot of activities set for the kids for summer.
Oh my gosh, these are all PERFECT! I'm passing this along to a church group that runs a children's day camp during the summer too. I'm sure so many of these could be handy- not to mention cheap! :D
Thanks so much for stopping by! I try to answer all valid comments as soon as possible, but you can also email info@occasionallycrafty.com with an urgent question. Have a great day!
