MUST DO Summer Activities for Kids - Family Fun Ideas

In this video I'm sharing our summer MUST DO list of activities for our family. Writing out a list of things you want to do with your kids is so helpful to keep track of all the things you want to accomplish. I had asked The Purple Alphabet community what was on their list and that inspired me to make ours. Let me know if you have somethings on your list, I'd love to hear them.

Summer begins on the 21st officially, I bought a sand bucket and shovel with lots of things to fill in it from the dollar tree and a cute wooden frame from the dollar tree to put a fun summer pic. Then I did a bucket list of things to do 😂 hence the bucket and a container of orbeez . Vooks books are fun ! I made my own tags for the bucket 🪣 to thank my speechie kids for being so important!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

It feels like summer with the heat we are having in San Diego! That is such a cute idea with the buckets!!!

[@KendraJohnsonBooks]

I agree it took forever to get here! Even now it’s cold and rainy where we live.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Aww.... hope the sunshine finds you soon!

[@deedee9312]

Happy ☀️ summer love 💕 all the ideas 💡

[@PopularParis]

I love how you broke it down to specific topics. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with where to start but I’m glad I watched this because now I feel like I have a good place to start. Woot!!! Thanks!!!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh, that's great! I'm so glad!!! There are soooooooo many things that we want to do. It felt better when I put them into categories.

[@mekagooden4915]

Oh yes!!! Please please a week in the life!!! I’m always looking for ideas for more smooth summers and chores and fun stuff. One thing my area offers are free movie nights in the local parks. We walk and bring blankets and snacks and enjoy a free kid movie. Our library offers other programs not just the summer reading. We still attend the story times and they send a take home kit for steam and one for art twice a week. They also put up a story in the park, so you follow the walking trail and read a book along they way. They have posters pinned up along the trail of a different kids story and a snack and craft at the end of the trail. We love our library.

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh I've heard of the story in the park!!! I was meaning to look up if they do it in San Diego. I know they do in Orange county which is about an hour away. I think that is so cute.

[@mekagooden4915]

@@ThePurpleAlphabet we really enjoy it. Hope you can find one closer to home.

[@michelleisplanning]

Thank you foraking a video like this! I now have some ideas what I can do with my son! Also a tip: if anyone has a dog(s) bring them to hike as well!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

That's a great tip about the pets!!

[@cathy8547]

Michaels has an awesome arts and crafts for the kids summer camp for them. You could either go to the stores or do it online or watch them on KZbin. My kids love it

[@ebreton30]

If you’re looking for a new game, definitely check out telestrations. It is a cross between the telephone game and Pictionary, and it’s hilarious!!! You guys will get some good laughs 😂👍🏼

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh that sounds like it would be so funny!!!

[@yennicuellar5794]

What a great list! And yes I would love to see a video of a week in your life. Do you have a similar summer list for toddlers?

[@sarigo5788]

Love these ideas! I'm with the kids all summer and we craft together often, do educational activities and go out to have fun experiences. We also have the need to tackle messes. Boooo. Lol. I hope you guys have a great summer!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh the messes just got worse today! UGH!!! LOL

[@staceybrock7151]

Hey Christina! I just wanted to say ty to you and your girls for sharing the water activities video you shared with the squirters. I got them for my boys and the little basketball basket and they were a big hit. They thought it was a hoot trying to shoot the ball off the basket with the squirters. 😊

[@Joylove58]

Thank u so much for the thoughtful ideas

[@marybethshimell889]

If you’re buying stamps, buy now. Postage is going up in July. My kids are grown, but I keep my 9 and 3 year old grandkids every day. I use chore charts and make them fish before we can go to the pool. Great incentive,

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Good to know about the postage! Thanks for the tip!!

[@libyatech3303]

You can take two or three cops have any land you can take a little bouncy ball and you can try to get the balloons above and send them to Cups or make a room like obstacle course for the ball

[@rangelchronicles296]

Great video! We are in Ventura county and are always looking for things to do over the summer, Fall and Winter. We plan on visiting LegoLand and Disneyland. Hope to see more videos over the coming seasons🙏🏼

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

Oh you are going to have a great time at those places!!!!! Last year, we took a road trip north!

[@thedavisfamily3301]

We have a Nature Center here in Springfield, Mo its great for learning about plants and ecosystems. Lots of birds and deer all kinds of outside fun! Its free and there are so many trails you can take its great!

[@ThePurpleAlphabet]

[@Creative2xmom]

[@laa6549]

[@veronicamiller5268]

[@amomentofjenn]
