Summer worksheets from Woo Jr. Here you’ll find a huge collection of free summer-themed printables—not only coloring pages, but also word searches and other activity pages. There’s a wide range of options that can be used all the way from toddler to upper elementary aged. These can be used at home, out and about, or on a road trip. 3. Boredom jar from Somewhat Simple Here’s a simple solution for those infamous complaints of boredom when time is hanging heavy on your kids’ hands. You’ve probably heard of this idea before, but this site offers a printable label and activities and chores to be placed in the jar, making it a no-brainer to create! 4. Homemade bubbles from Rust & Sunshine Here’s one for the preschoolers: let them have fun both making and using homemade bubbles, with ingredients you won’t run out of as quickly (especially when your toddler decided to dump out that entire container of store-bought bubbles you just opened). 5. Water play ideas from Screen-Free Parenting These ideas are also focused on toddlers and preschoolers.

Creating a game together can be a bonding experience, and make everyone more likely to want to play what they’ve thought up! 7. Recipes to make together from Martha Stewart Cooking together is always a perfect collaborative activity, and the longer days of summer allow for extra time for your little chefs to practice their skills! It’s helpful to start with simple recipes that kids will enjoy both making and eating. |
