Powered by Mom Blog shares a great Summer Activity Infographic!
Now here are some great ideas, to keep the kids occupied with fun activities, keep the cool without breaking the bank and so much more! I absolutely love these ideas especially the water bottle one and packing the kids clothes in ziploc bags. They're all great ideas and I'm sure you'll find one that you'll think is the handiest tip ever! Which tip do you like the most?
The Foil River is a great idea! I think we even have some little toy boats we can use:)
Thank you for these great ideas my daughter will have so much fun doing these
LOVE these ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I love these ideas! Anything that helps keep kids imaginations and thinking skills sharp during the summer is awesome!
This is awesome!!
Thank you for this post. We are ALWAYS looking for fresh ideas...especially during the summer.
Awesome ideas! I love the frozen super hero idea!
We keep the kids busy by going to the park, some of them are playing baseball. So you kind of live out of your car then anyways.
I loved the empty soda bottle idea and tried it At first the boys were looking at me like I was nuts until the water turned on, then they were all smiles!
Love the one where you have to free the hero from the block of ice. Great idea!
Thank you for so many great ideas! Love the idea about packing!
I really like the cardboard fort idea! When we made blanket forts when I was little I had so much fun! Thank you for your post.
There are so many great ideas! Im definately doing the 2 liter water bottle sprinkler. Genius!!
i like so many of these ideas and i am gonna help them build a box fort that they will love...the do the blanket chairs thing all the time
I really like some of these ideas. I would have loved to have known them when my son was younger, but we can adapt to make some of these fun at his age.
Some great and fun ideas! Will definitely be using the for the rest of our summer!!!
amazing ideas
What amazing ideas! I love the cardboard box idea.. it really will be great to use in our Church activities!
These are all good ideas. My kids are grown up now. My daughter has young children so I'll pass this along to her. Thanks!
Oh my goodness - this is wonderful! I never stop hearing, "I'm bored", and eventually there's nothing left to clean!
What great ideas for the kids this summer and so simple, Love It.......
These are really great ideas. Sometimes I think it would be better than to go out and get all these expensive toys to just get some old boxes that your child could fit in because everytime I would get a toy for our daughter she would get the box and start playing with it and throw the toy to the side lol.
Oh so many great ideas. I love the build a house with cardboard boxes, I spy jar and the recycle pop bottles for water fun ideas. My grand children are going to have so much fun.
I saw today where someone took a large shipping box and let their LO color ALL over the inside. It was really cute, and looked like it could have taken up some time. 😀 I love the ideas you have here too.
Wow, I am so glad I found this. I have my nieces and nephew here for the next few weeks and these items are great!
This is so great!! I can't wait to make the tape road/racetrack!
Thanks
Those are really great and fun ideas. I could really use some sanity savers right about now.
Thank you for sharing.
These are some really great ideas
Love this! Sharing it will all my mom friends!!!
Wow some really interesting Idea's Love the frozen toy rescue one..
Wow, great ideas! Especially like the 2 liter bottle sprinkler. What fun!
These are some really great ideas for kids to do to keep busy this summer. Thanks so much for the ideas. I will make sure to pass it along wo also help others.
Sounds great!
Thank you for the refreshing ideas, some of those i already tried and some new once i should try!
Great, fun ideas!
So many super cute ideas I would have never thought of! I just love the foil river and the box fort. My kids would have a blast with those!
I LOVE all of the ideas! I esp. love the idea to use painter's tape to create a race track for cars. I am going to try it and I know my boys will love it!
I am keeping my grandchildren for my daughter this summer, and some days I am at a loss on how to entertain them and keep them happy. You have just given me a multitude of things to do with them. I just wish I had the imagination to come up with things like this on my own!
Wow! Love all the great ideas! Wish I'd some of these when my kids were younger! I especially like the snack tackle box for car rides. This would also be perfect for playdates and park time. I was never this organized! My very favorite idea is the liter bottle sprinkler! I think I may do this tonight, as it is watering day (we're on 2 day/week water restrictions) and it's hot out there! Thanks! I'm going to pass on this link to my niece who has two small children! I think she will especially love the tin foil river! 🙂
Does that soda bottle really work? Does it move around a lot or does the weight of the water inside the bottle keep it in one place?
These are really fun ideas, I really like the rescuing the hero one, my son would love doing that!
I definitely have to try the snack tackle box. My daughter and I are planning a trip to Alabama soon and a box filled with this many snacks would definitely tie her over until we get to grandma's house.
we're in the middle of drought-like conditions here, so we're conserving water... and i've heard that the bottle on the hose doesn't work well unless you have really high water pressure... so we won't be doing that even when the drought threat is gone 🙂
i DO love the idea of the magnetic road trip games! i think that's excellent even for games we play at home - stuff gets scattered and lost WAY too easily!
thanks for sharing all these!
Love this ! Frugal & Fun! Two of my favorite words!
Those are some really NEAT ideas!!! I can see us trying out the foil river now! I love how they are totally frugal but also hands on and FUN! Thanks so much for sharing all of your amazing ideas <3
Great ideas. I am going to use the tin foil river and put it on my long hill in the backyard for the grandkids. They come 2 times a week and it has been hot lately. I'll let them use the hose for their river and they can float a toy or whatever other small objects they want. I'll set the whole thing up on a simple tarp.
I love the recycled soda bottle spray idea!
oh my gosh I love these ideas. I'll be the first one to admit, I think my sanity has already left me and we're only a month into summer vacation. I'm definitely going to have to try the Super Fort!
This is a nice site 😀
love the no pool no worries with the 2L bottle,,,try it sounds like a blast!!!
Will share these ideas with my daughter for my two-year old granddaughter. I love the idea of the simple packing with putting a full outfit in each zip-lock bag for a trip..... can work for simple day trips, too, since, at her age, she often needs a change of clothes.
Those are all great tips. I especially like the one using a two liter bottle as a sprinkler.
great ideas and tips! Definitely bookmarking this page 🙂
love the idea of the water bottle on the hose. The kids break to sprinkler so easily.
These are great tips! I know that my grandson Collin would have a blast freeing one of his superheroes from an iceblock.
Oh my god all these ideas are awesome.i wish i would of seen the 2 liter bottler sprayer sooner ive already invested too much in water toys this summer!
those are some amazingly awesome ideas!!! especially the heros in ice and the treasure hunt one i love it!!!!!!!
Love the Super Fort and Hero Rescue!
