My family lives for summer. There’s something just so magical about enjoying warm weather, playing outside, licking ice pops, lounging by the pool, and spending quality time as a family. Having a little toddler, I can’t wait to watch him experience the excitement of summer.  Looking to have a little family fun in the sun? Take a look at the fun activities my family is looking forward to this summer.

Inexpensive Summer Activities for Families

If there’s anything that I’ve learned as a mother, it’s that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have fun. When thinking of fun activities my family can enjoy this summer, I’ve decided to keep things simple.

Summer Picnics: First and foremost, I’m looking forward to family summer picnics! There’s no better way to relax than packing a blanket, yummy food, and a football to toss around at the park. Speaking of yummy food, I’m totally going to be adding JELL-O Sailboat Snackers also known as “The S.S. Tangerine” to my picnic basket! How fun are these? I can’t wait to see the look on my son’s face when he sees the boat on top of his JELL-O Gelatin! After all, when it’s made with JELL-O, it’s made with love.

Bubbles: We love bubbles at my house! Taking a container of bubbles to the park can provide hours of entertainment. Use different bubble wands or kitchen utensils to create a variety of different bubbles. This is a great activity that little kids can really enjoy.

Catch Bugs: Having a little boy who loves insects, we have a lot of summertime fun catching bugs around the yard. Now that the weather is warming up, I can’t wait to take him on an epic bug hunt. Use a butterfly net or small container to catch bugs and talk about different types of insects.
