Today I’m sharing a list of 100, yes 100 frugal and fun Summer Activities with you which should be more than enough to see you through the Summer!
We’re a couple of weeks into the Summer Holidays now and if your kids are anything like my two used to be then you’ll more than likely running out of ideas to keep them occupied.
A couple of years ago, I made a list of 100 ideas that would guarantee that you (and me) wouldn’t run out of ideas for the whole of the school holidays.
As well as this handy little list, which my friend has printed out and stuck on her fridge like a little bucket list, you might like to have a look at my favourite bored jar ideas and my bored jar fit for a tween post too. Until recently our bored jars were used frequently and were brought out every single school holiday without fail for years. And don’t forget this fab little printable which I still have pinned to our notice board in an effort to cut down on the use of those dreaded words – ‘I’m bored Mam!’.
This list of 100 different frugal but fun summer activities should keep us all going for a little while so there’s no excuse for me hearing them say that they’re bored next week although I’m sure there’ll be at least one day where they won’t be able to agree on a single thing from the whole list!
I think we’ve done everything on this list at one point or another but the ones that have the little stars (*) next to them are activities that I’ve blogged about so if you want to find out more, just search for it using the search box in the top right of this page.
And another big tip I can give you to keep the kids busy and safe is to make sure you have plenty of kids garden toys in your garden – we’ve always had loads to do which always seemed to attract half the neighbourhood. Something I loved as I much prefer the kids are all at mine where I can see them than somewhere else where I can’t. 😉
Have fun!
