Summer Bucket List for Kids | Simple and Fun Summer Activities

It is officially Summer Vacation over in our household! That of course means we need to make our summer bucket list for kids to complete before the summer is over!

We already do the 1,000 hours outside challenge and are almost done with our first year and first 1,000 hours! I would highly recommend trying it out yourself because it has been remarkably beneficial for our family in more ways than one.

After sitting down and thinking about everything I wanted to do with my kids this summer (from a parent perspective) and then asking my kids what they had hoped to do this summer we came up with a great big summer bucket list. With the goal being to have completed it all by the time their new little sister arrives at the end of summer!

Simple and Fun Color mixing Activity for Kids

color Mixing Activity

Somedays you just need to have a fun activity to do with your kids.  This Preschool Color Mixing activity is definitely one of them.  

My daughter is obsessed with everything artsy and this activity did not disappoint. It’s such a fun twist on the typical “mix the paint” situation! 

Keep in mind this activity takes a bit of prep work because you will need to have it freezing the night before you use it, but it was a hit with the kids!

Easy Bird Feeder | Fun Kids Activity

Easy Bird Feeder

Who loves it when your able to spend time playing with your child and have them be simultaneously learning as you do it? I know I do, that’s why I’m such a fan of this Easy Bird Feeder Activity to do with your kids!

Making the everyday a learning opportunity for my kids became a major Mom Goal for me. I always learned better with the hands-on approach growing up.  Once my daughter was old enough it became clear this was also how she learned best. So, I try to incorporate fun hands-on learning activities into our daily lives. 

Sometimes they are super simple like sorting out silverware (this helps me too because I’m getting the kids involved in cleaning).  Other times It’s fun activities that take some prep-work and planning ahead of time.  

This was an activity that was fun to create, but also fun to watch as birds came and visited the feeder!
