Summer Activities For Kids and Young at Heart!


Every summer, since I watched Frozen; every time I hear the word "Summer" or read something about summer... A switch turns on and automatically hear Olaf singing his summer song. Feel free to join the sing along with Olaf. Summer is always the best time to play outside and have kids spend their afternoon napping or doing fun activities ( with adult supervision). It's the best time of the year to develop their skills. Arts and crafts, or their using their convincing powers to sell lemonade, or dancing or singing. Any activity that they can spend time with you and with their friends is always fun. In my opinion, a summer well spent is when our kids learned a skill, or became better with the things they are good at and or something they are passionate about. Ideally, it shouldn't be just every summer, but everyday and the only reason why I'm saying that t's the best time of the year is they have more time, and kids are less preoccupied with their assignments. Summer time is always the happiest time when taking a break from school and most likely retain anything that they have learned during summer.

For the kids and young at heart, I hope you enjoy this article.

  1. Lawn Twister! 

It's about having fun in the sun. What's good with this is kids and adults enjoy playing twister. The best part is your kids can help you set this up. Kids can play safely without you worrying them about slipping or hitting their face on the tiles. Your child can invite his or her friends over and play this game without messing up your home as well. Since kids will be playing outside, do not forget to bring them snacks and drinks. We do not want anyone getting dehydrated. Click here, for the Lawn Twister tutorial.

2. Backyard Theater


One of the things that I look forward to every summer is, having a clear sky and stars shining brighter than ever. For the kids, to staying up late without sneaking is always a dream! A do it yourself backyard theater gives you the opportunity of having a popcorn free sofa, and kids enjoying their favorite movie at the comfort of your own backyard! You can do stargazing, try to find constellations or just shapes that they can see the stars are forming. It's fun to see your kids being imaginative and actually enjoying the outdoors, instead of holding your tablet. Don't forget to bring snack and refreshments. Click here, for DIY backyard theater.

3.  Arts and Crafts                                                                           

 You can also teach them arts and crafts. Depending on the task, it is always best with an adult supervision. Glow jars is my favorite, make glow jars and have them placed everywhere in the backyard. The fun part is watching them glow during the night. You can also build a DIY chalk board. Have your kids draw using colored chalks. Click here, for DIY glow jars. For DIY, Chalk board, Click here.
