15 Summer Activities Kids Will Love

With the weather warming up I am already planning a fun summer with my kids. Over the years we have taken advantage of great summer weather by getting outside and staying active. Here is a collection of 15 Summer Activities Kids Will Love. There is a little of everything here, but it all takes place outside. Some of these activities include learning concepts, while others are more art focused. If your kid loves getting messy or wet, I've got you covered! When you are done with these activities, you just might need some Parenting Tips to Get You Through the Summer.

By all means have fun with your kids during the summer. Take time to relax and play. But don’t forget about academics completely. My kids enjoy working in the Summerbridge books and Kumon Summer Review.
