Take a look at these summer ideas and activities for kids that have been shared in years past and get ready for another summer of fun:

Fun Summer Ideas and Activities for Kids

Although I look forward to the downtime in the summer, it can also create all kinds of fights and “I’m booooooored” reactions from my kids.  BUT– there are so many easy, good ideas to do with your kids to make summer a little more fun without a ton of work.  You don’t have to do all of these ideas with your kids.  Just pick a few to try and go for it —

Crafts for Kids 

Fun crafts for kids ideas! I don’t love huge, involved craft projects.  All of these are easy to do:

  • Fluffy Slime
  • DIY Floam
  • Emoji Slime
  • Make Perler Bead Jewelry
  • Fairy Glow Jar
  • Make a God’s Eye
  • Make Rope Bracelets
  • No Sew Elastic Bookmarks
  • Orange Scented Play Dough

Activities for Kids

Your kids will love doing these activities.  Some are a little more involved than others (like teaching your child to cook!) but well worth it and they’ll appreciate spending time with you:

  • Teach Kids How to Hand Sew
  • Pin the Cherry on the Ice Cream Cone
  • Kids Cooking Camp
  • Ice Cream Math Game
  • Straw Building
  • Make Your Own Bubble Blower

Summer Reading

One thing I always want to encourage is reading! Summer is the perfect time to get lost in a good book (or 2 or 10).  Here are some ideas for how to encourage your kids to read too:

  • Encourage Reading with this Bubble Gum Game
  • 20 Books for Teen Boys
  • Over 50 Books for Tween and Teen Girls
  • Summer Reading Challenge Bookmarks
  • Best Audiobooks for Kids– great for road trips!

Summer Printables

While I have tons of printables, these are perfect for summer:

  • Summer Rules
  • Summer Binder
  • Summer Bucket List BINGO
  • Road Trip Games
  • Summer Coloring Page
  • Summer Journaling Pages
  • Travel Journal

    We’re a group of volunteers and starting a brand new
    scheme in our community. Your site provided us with valuable information to work on. You’ve done a formidable activity and our entire community will probably be thankful to you.
