Summer Activities for Kids!

My favorite part about having the kids home during the summer is the lack of schedules and structure! Care-free days, playing outside, and making up their own games.

Here are 24 of our favorite creative activities to do during the summer, with a few crafts that moms can for make for the kids thrown in!

One more Idea!

If you’ve made it this far, phew! Thanks for reading along! And as an added bonus I have a few more ideas to share! Here’s a fun summer treat to make with the kids. Ice cream in a bag! Growing a Jeweled Rose shows how easy it is to make a single serving of ice cream in a freezer bag. My kids made these at a church event. They had all sorts of fun summer activities for the kids to do outside, but the ice cream in a bag was definitely the highlight of the day. I made some and it was delicious!
