Whether you work from home, are a stay-at-home parent, or commute, you need real-world suggestions to occupy your children, especially during the summer. If not, they can end up spending too much time in front of screens, which is bad for their health (mental or physical). You will create wonderful memories whether you create a summer bucket list or simply choose a couple of your favourite activities. The secret is to take it easy and savour the summer with your loved ones.

Embrace Nature

Take advantage of the prolonged sunny days by discovering nature.

Observe birds. Take pictures and record your sightings. To identify feathered buddies, consult a guidebook or an app.
Building a bird feeder adds to your record of bird sightings as you observe birds visiting your yard.
Build fairy homes. Build a home suitable for Thumbelina out of moss, bark, and leaves.
You choose the plants. Pick blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, vegetables, or flowers from a farm if you can.
Create a hummingbird or butterfly garden. Make a habitat for wildlife in your yard.

Take Advantage of Rainy Days

There are still lots of things to do indoors when the weather is bad!

Use Netflix or pull out your movie library. Have a popcorn-filled movie marathon.
Create a fort. Boxes of cardboard might be placed in the yard or cushions in the living room.
Construct a Lego palace. Make clearing a table a family project. Do it all summer long.
Stay in. Have a family sleepover by setting the sleeping bags down on the floor.
Try out different hairstyles. Allow the kids to experiment with braids, non-permanent colours, and spiky, gelled hairstyles.
Obtain colourful paper and an origami book. Make amusing shapes and animals. Give these as gifts to friends and family.

Visit Local Attractions

The summer is the perfect time to enjoy a few staycations. Invite visiting friends or relatives to come to see what’s unique in your community if you have them. Like getting a minibus hire and going to a local beach for the day or visiting a museum.

Eat at a diner’s counter. Let the kids indulge in milkshakes and fried food.
Find a local free concert. Relax while listening to music with your family.
Visit a garage sale or flea market. Check to see if the kids can negotiate better than you.
Visit the neighbourhood carnival or county fair. Eat some particularly sweet food at least once this summer, such as cotton candy or elephant ears.
Set up a picnic. You can eat it just about anyplace, including at a playground, a free concert, or a state park.

Be Creative

Try one of these creative hobbies or get out those craft supplies you’ve been storing.

Collect and paint rocks. Make them into gifts for family members, garden ornaments, or pet rocks.
Create things out of playdough. Create your own playdough to mould in imaginative ways. Then destroy them and repeat the process.
Enjoy some clay. After that, bake your creations to preserve them.
Press the blossoms of summer. Use waxed paper to create a picture of crushed flowers.
