With the warm weather upon us, it is important to have a list of fun summer activities for kids to keep everyone busy, entertained and out of our hair.
My wife and I have two school aged children. With my wife working from home, she usually has a full day of a nice quiet house to herself. But all of that changes when school is not in session. She gets a small dose of this during the winter, fall and spring breaks, but there is always quite a bit of adjusting when school lets out for the summer.
She often feels guilty about trying to balance the needs of her career (which is really important) with the needs of our kids (which are really REALLY important). It is a balance that we are still working on perfecting. She used to be a teacher and her experience has taught her that being prepared in imperative when keeping children busy. So, we always have a list of fun activities for the whole family (or just the kids) to do when the weather is nicer outside. By the way, we also have a list of activities for crummy weather as well.
We hope that fun summer activities for kids serve you well and help make the school break as stress-free and fun as possible!
