FUN THINGS to do with your toddler this summer ✨
Summer is officially here, so it’s time to start all the cool summer activities with the kids! Here is a list of 5 fun activities your toddler would absolutely love to do with you this summer ☀️:
1. Visit a SPLASH PAD or make one in your yard 💦
Most communities have a splash pad that you can visit with your child for FREE✨. It’s sensory enrichment for your toddler, and they will have a blast on a hot summer day!
2. Make yummy homemade POPSICLES 🍭
Grab a cute popsicle molder or small cups, and make popsicles with different flavor combinations! The options are endless for this one and perfect for a toddler that loves fruit. 🍓🫐
3. Make a CHALK mural 🖍️
Turn your blank patio into a big beautiful drawing space for your toddler! Let them be creative and practice their fine motor skills. Tips: lightly wet the chalk for a more vibrant drawing, and draw interactive things like numbers, the alphabet, etc. to create a more educational game too!
4. Make a summer SENSORY BIN 🐞🦋
Use items of different textures to create themed sensory bins that your toddler will love! Ideas: bug theme (rice and toy bugs with a small rake or shovel) and ocean theme (water with fish/marine animal toys and a small net) 🐳
5. Go on a nature-themed SCAVENGER HUNT 🌳
Give your toddler objectives to find like a flower of every color, rocks, bugs, etc. and they will want to explore for hours!

Engaging with your toddler over the summer can nurture their creativity and development. To enhance your summer experience, consider additional activities such as making DIY water balloons for a fun backyard battle or hosting a mini garden day where kids can learn about plants while planting flowers or vegetables. These activities not only entertain but also promote learning and bonding through hands-on experiences. Furthermore, organizing playdates with other toddlers can add a social aspect to the summer fun, allowing them to learn sharing and teamwork. You might also explore local nature trails for family hikes. Encourage your child to observe and gather natural treasures like interesting rocks or leaves to start a nature scrapbook. Crafting a summer bucket list together can empower toddlers by giving them choices and encouraging independence as they tick off each adventure. Lastly, incorporating music and dance sessions can turn any regular day into a vibrant celebration, helping develop rhythm and coordination skills while having a blast. This summer, explore endless possibilities to bond and create lasting memories with your special little one!
