Here are some fun activities to keep the kids entertained during the upcoming summer school holidays. Make the most of the sunny days ahead, while creating lasting memories! ☀️

1. Outdoor Water Fun 💦

Beat the heat by setting up a backyard water park with sprinklers, water balloons, and a paddle pool. Let the kids splash around and have a blast while staying cool. Water play is not only fun, but it also offers a wide range of developmental benefits, while encouraging physical activity and reduced screen time. 

2. Nature Scavenger Hunt 🐞

Take a nature walk in the backyard or nearby park and create a scavenger hunt for the kids. Encourage them to find items like pine-cones, different types of leaves, or even spot a bird or butterfly. Our Nature Hunt Kit from Poppy & Daisy is the perfect tool for a scavenger hunt, encouraging kids to take a walk in nature.

Other Nature scavenger hunt ideas:

  • Nature colour hunt: Challenge the kids to find items in nature that match specific colors. Create a list of different colors and see who can find the most items that match each color.
  • Nature texture hunt: Explore the different textures found in nature by searching for items like smooth rocks, rough tree bark, or soft moss.
  • Nature sound hunt: Listen carefully to the sounds of nature around you. Create a list of different sounds for the children to identify, such as magpie, Kookaburra  and other bird callings, rustling leaves, breaking sticks or flowing water.

 

3. DIY Art and Craft Day ✂️

Gather some art supplies and get creative with your little ones. From painting rocks to making homemade slime, there are endless possibilities to explore their artistic side.

4. Picnic in the Park 🧺

Pack a delicious picnic lunch and head to a local park for a relaxing afternoon. Let the kids run around, play frisbee, and enjoy the fresh air while you soak up the sunshine.

5. Movie Night Under the Stars ⭐

Set up a backyard movie night with a projector or simply use a laptop. Grab some popcorn, blankets, cushions and snuggle up for a fun outdoor movie experience with the whole family.

6. DIY Ice Cream Sundae Bar 🍦

Cool off with a DIY ice cream bar where kids can create their own sundaes with various toppings. It's a sweet treat that will surely be a hit on a hot summer's day.

Topping suggestions:

  • Diced fruit
  • Sprinkles and whipped cream
  • Granola
  • Crushed cookies
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Toasted coconut
  • Warm chocolate fudge sauce
  • Lolly mix-in's  (mini marshmallows, gummy bears, M & M's etc.)

Don't forget to add glace cherries 🍒 for the finishing touch!

7. Beach Day Adventure ⛱️

If you're close to the coast, plan a day trip to the beach. Build sandcastles, collect seashells, and splash in the waves for a classic summer beach day with the kids.

  • Build a sandcastle
  • Collect seashells
  • Create a beach themed scavenger hunt
  • Go for a swim
  • Play beach cricket or volleyball
  • Watch the sunset

8. Water Balloon Pinata 🎈

Fill up some water balloons, hang them from a tree branch, blindfold the kids, and let them take turns trying to break the balloons open. It's a refreshing and exciting game that will keep them cool on hot summer days.

9. Water Balloon Painting

Fill up small water balloons with different colors of children's non-toxic craft paint. Get the kids to throw them at a canvas, old sheet, cardboard box or large sheet of paper, and watch as the colors splatter and mix together to create a unique work of art. (This is definitely one for the outdoors!)

10. Backyard Camping ⛺

Pitch a tent in the backyard, add cushions and pillows and pack a picnic dinner. Tell camp stories under the star and roast marshmallows over a portable camp grill. It's a fun way to experience the great outdoors without leaving home.

Enjoy the sunshine and quality time together!
