The Ultimate Summer Bucket List for Kids

June 23, 2019 Comments : 22

We are finally out of school for the summer and we could not be more excited. Hayden will spend the majority of the week at a day camp because I’m living that #workingmom life. Despite this we have created our own summer bucket list of all the things that we want to do this summer.

The Ultimate Summer Bucket List

1. Beach (Always at the top of Hayden’s List)

2. Pool (Always #2 on his list)

3. Mini Golf

4. Get Ice cream (added to this: at least 1x/week)

5. Water Park

6. Decorate driveway with chalk

7. Bubbles

8. Go on a hike

9. Sparklers

10. Amusement park

11. Camping (not a fan so check out an alternative HERE)

12. Paddle Boarding

13. Spend a day on a boat

14. Watch fireworks

15. Build a sand castle 

16. Ride Bikes

17. Movies in the Park (this is a free event local to us!)

18. Jump on a trampoline

19. Go to the zoo

20. Baseball game

21. Strawberry Picking

22. Water Balloon fight

23. Make S’mores

24. Plant flowers

25. Make tie-dye shirts 

So there you have it. What fun activities are on your list of things to do this summer with your kids? Let me know in the comments!

      My 3 year old agrees with your list. He is a huge fan of the beach, the pool and definitely anything that promises a fun outing with preferably ice cream. 😆😊

    This would have been such a fun bucket list to do with my daughter when she was younger. In fact, I think she would still love to do some of these like the sandcastle.

    Bubbles are huge in our house. Three kids from 1yo-7yo and they all love them. It’s nice to have something they all enjoy doing together.

    I have always wanted to do a movie in the park. I wondered if there were any more of those anymore. I would love to find out where they have them around the U.S. (Florida specifically).

Chloe is definitely giving us a little bit of a ru Chloe is definitely giving us a little bit of a run for our money lately. Teething, leaps and learning new skills is making sleep pretty much non existent. Definitely walking around like a zombie lately. 

At least this cute plant stand is making me happy and adding some fun to my living space. Linked this one and others that you can get from @walmart for under $30 in my bio!
