Don’t we all need fun summer activities for kids? Is it getting to be that time in the summer for anyone else? Where it’s starting to get really hot, and it seems like school has been out for a long. long. time?
I am so thankful that I had the foresight to sign up for two weeks of summer camp in the middle of July so at the moment I write this, O is happy as a clam with some new friends. But it’s only a couple of hours in the morning, he doesn’t nap anymore and we still have the entire rest of the day to fill.
Oh. And the entire rest of the summer. I seriously need some fun summer activities. My kid is going to say he’s bored. I miss you nap time! Please come back!
But if I can break out some really great summer activities for him, I will be the best mom ever! He’ll be so excited to be doing something fun and unique instead of the same old same old ever day. I think these fun summer activities will save both of us!
So for the sanity of you, my fellow crafty moms, I’ve got a round up of 15 Fun Summer Activities for Kids to help keep your little ones occupied and your sanity intact!

Water balloons never get old, I love playing outside with my kids and water balloons. The daisy painting looks interesting and fun too.
