Summer Activities At Home

Now that Summer is fully upon us!!!! Let’s have some fun with our Toddlers!! Make sure to check out your local groups and Facebook pages to see what fun summer events your city is holding!! Ours has these fun Picnic Outdoor Movie Nights where they play Disney movies every Friday night! Barnes && Noble has Story Time for littles on Saturday mornings!! Just ask around!! However, these are all fun ideas I’ve found on Pinterest to do at home with your Toddlers this summer!! (Click on the photos to be taken to the direct link!! I’m all about giving credit where it’s due!! Supporting other Mama’s with great ideas!!! I’m just putting them all in one place for you!!) None of this includes Technology!! Win-Win!!

Blow Up Balloons! All different sizes! Let them run wild with them!!! Show them how to bounce them, kick them or even play balloon tennis! Try putting a Pool Noodle between two chairs and play Balloon Volleyball! I put Penelope in her crib and filled it with balloons and she laughed so hard throwing them out of the crib and just playing with them! They are so light that they can’t break much! 😉 (Supervise them so they don’t bite, pop, and possibly inhale the balloon!!!!!)
