Summer is the perfect time for kids to have fun and enjoy their holiday break. However, with travel restrictions and social distancing measures still in place, many families are opting to stay at home this summer. But that doesn’t mean kids can’t have a blast right in their own backyard. Here are some fun summer activities for kids to enjoy at home while rocking their favorite holiday clothing.
1. Water activities: Beat the heat with some water fun right in your backyard. Set up a kiddie pool, water balloons, or a sprinkler for the kids to run through. They can also have a water gun fight or play games like water limbo. And what’s more fun than splashing around in the sun while wearing your favorite holiday clothing?
2. Outdoor scavenger hunt: Create a list of items for the kids to find in the backyard or around the house. Give them clues and let them race to find all the items. You can also turn it into a nature scavenger hunt, where they look for different types of plants, insects, or animals. Don’t forget to take photos of your little adventurers in their holiday clothing as they search for treasure.
3. DIY tie-dye: Let the kids get creative by doing some tie-dyeing at home. You can use old t-shirts, socks, or even pillowcases to create fun and colorful designs. Set up a tie-dye station in the backyard and let them go wild with different colors and patterns. Just make sure they are wearing their holiday clothing that you don’t mind getting a little messy.
4. Campout in the backyard: Pitch a tent in the backyard and let the kids experience a fun camping adventure right at home. Roast marshmallows, tell stories, and gaze at the stars before snuggling up in sleeping bags for the night. They can even wear their holiday clothing as their cozy camp attire.
5. DIY obstacle course: Create a challenging obstacle course in the backyard using items like hula hoops, cones, jump ropes, and bean bags. Time the kids as they race through the course, and give out prizes for the fastest time. They can even dress up in their holiday clothing to add a fun and festive touch to the obstacle course.
This summer, keep your kids entertained and active with these fun at-home activities. And don’t forget to capture all the memories by taking photos of your little ones in their holiday clothing as they enjoy the summer fun.
