backyard activities for kids
Summer’s just around the corner and we LOVE summer vacation, but we get a little worried about entertaining kids for all hours of the day. We want to encourage our kids to unplug and go enjoy outdoor activities while the weather is so nice. I remember throwing water balloons back and forth as a kid with my whole family.
Just that simple time together was a great way to take advantage of the beautiful summer days at the local park. I also used to have so much fun at the water park, summer camp, going on nature trails, playing at the local playground, and even making mud pies in my own backyard.
To help you avoid that summer burnout (and us, too!), we rounded up 50 Outdoor Summer Activities just for kids that would be perfect to chase the bored blues away and keep the kids from turning into couch potatoes over the summer. The summer months can be hard, especially on a hot day.
