We all have those days when it seems like we have exhausted all our resources to find something fun for the kids to do! This post will help you manage those times by giving you some great ideas to beat summer boredom!
Make a daily Schedule that will guarantee some kind of fun activity each and ever weekday.
- Marshmallow Gun
- Go Geocoaching- (Originally seen in Family Circle Magazine) Take your GPS and head out to find real life treasures! There about a million caches worldwide (small containers you find, dig up, then look inside. They all have a guestbook you can sign and other fun objects.) You'll be surprised to find how many caches there are close to you! Visit geocaching.com for more details.
- Bubble Snakes
- Water Fight
- Look for interesting insects in your backyard or local park. Pick up a bug box from a hardware store, which are super cheap.
- Get dirty! I flood an empty planter and let my kids go crazy in the mud. You can build dirt castles, dig for buried treasure (small household objects burried by mom), have a mud fight etc.
- Read Kari's list of 200 summer activities on Sugardoodle

We started geocaching earlier this year. My son loves it too. Lots of fun.
