9 Fun Summer Activities Your Little Ones Will Love

Summer is just around the corner! Make sure you get some fresh air!

1. Make a Pretty Finger Painting

What better way to hone your child’s fine motor skills and creativity than by painting some gorgeous new pictures? Not only is finger painting a fun and relaxing activity you can try with your child, but you can also turn it into a learning opportunity for them. Teach them how to mix colors or add numbers while you experiment with different creations. 

Don’t forget to hang up their masterpieces when they’re finished!

2. Go on a Scavenger Hunt

Summer can sometimes feel long and even a little boring for your toddler. Try changing it up by organizing a backyard scavenger hunt! You can challenge your toddler to find different items around the backyard, like an acorn or a rock. You can also take a stroll around the neighborhood with your little one and try to mark different objects like stop signs and mailboxes!  

3. Make Some Playdough

Playdough is a fun and easy toy for toddlers to play with! While you can easily purchase some playdough at the store, it’s much more fun to make some at home with your child. Making it is pretty easy too. According to our friends at Happy Toddler Club, you just need:

• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup salt
• 1.5 teaspoon canola oil
• 1 pack kool-aid or 4-5 drops of food coloring

4. Take a Dip in the Pool

It can get pretty sweltering in the summer, so make sure you cool off by the pool! Don’t forget your floaties and pool games.

Most parents teach their children to swim when they’re around 1 to 4 years old. Enrolling your toddler in swimming lessons can improve their cognitive functioning and build muscle, which are both crucial for healthy development. 

5. Create a Fruity Popsicle 

Who doesn’t love a sweet ice treat during the summer? Popsicles are not only delicious, but they are pretty easy to make! I like combining pureed fruit and juice together for extra flavor. Instead of going for a boring popsicle mold, you can try different shapes and sizes like stars or small cubes.  

6. Visit a Museum

When thinking of enjoyable summer activities you can plan with your toddler, visiting a museum might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, most museums have fun programs and exhibits geared toward kids. If your child loves learning and exploring, they’ll enjoy walking around these fascinating rooms. That said, you should probably cap the visit at one or two hours to prevent any possible boredom or crankiness!

7. Plant Some Flowers

Does your little one have a green thumb? Plant some flowers with them! Gardening is great for bonding with your toddler while also giving you the opportunity to teach them fascinating facts about nature and earth.  

8. Practice Your Cooking Skills Together

While you probably won’t be making lobster tail and steak, you can make some easy meals and snacks with your little cook! Some of my favorite toddler-friendly recipes include:

• French bread pizza
• Vanilla sugar cookies
• Baked spaghetti squash
• French fries
• Fruit salad

9. Organize a Picnic in Your Backyard

Once you’re finished whipping up a delicious meal, you can organize a little picnic in your backyard! Grab a large blanket to spread your food out on and enjoy! Don’t forget to spray on some sunscreen and bug repellant to keep your little one comfortable.
