Having kids around for the summer after a long school year can cause boredom. Kids have the tendency to play video games or want to go places that cost money with their friends. What can you do to entertain your kids and their friends during the summer months? Here are a few fun ideas to help. Depending on the age you are looking to entertain, the activities can be adjusted to accommodate their needs.
One activity to have kids do is to create a scrapbook journal. If you live in an area that has state parks, or hiking trails, you can have the kids collect, draw and write about what they see around them. If you are not allowed to carry out plant samples or rocks, kids could use a digital camera or other camera to capture an image of what interests them. With the pictures, you could have them upload them to a computer and then write and print their experiences. If you want to inspire the artist in your child, buying them some water- based paints and They could do this with any activity, from playing in the sprinklers in the yard to riding their bikes with friends.
Creativity
Another low cost activity is to take kids to local museums and libraries. If you have a university close by, their museums may be free and have shows that can inform and entertain kids. Local libraries may also have story time and activities that can provide kids with mind challenging activities. It might be good to let the child get a library card and take them to check-out a new book a week. This will encourage reading, as well as teach them how to find things in a library.
The summer is a time for kids to have fun. Even though they are not in school, kids can learn, experiment, and expand their horizons by creating lasting memories. These memories can vary from a simple activity to other more elaborate planned out activities.
