Here it is – summertime – which means school’s out and there is A LOT of time to fill. You’ve probably spent more than a few hours looking online for things all of your young ones can do, from toddler to teen. I’ve also done my research and found some fun activities that combine inside and outside, adaptable for all ages and group sizes. Explore and enjoy!
Ages 4-6
As most of you know, younger ones love bubbles (give them a straw and a glass of milk to verify this), clay (it’s so squishy!), and painting (oh the colorful mess!). Here are a few ideas for combining a few of these faves.
Ages 7-10
As children get older, they are able to handle more things such as baking in the kitchen and setting up obstacle courses. These activities give them opportunities to be creative while allowing them to do more independently.
Ages 11-13
All ages
Kids of all ages (including some of us “grown kids”) can have fun with the following activities. I personally can’t wait to try the photos-to-wood activity. I think my teen is probably more keen to try the water slide…or anything water-related this summer!
