Fun Summertime Activities for Babies, Toddlers, & Preschoolers

Summer camp has been cancelled! You are wracking your brain figuring out how to keep you and your little one busy. Worry not, we have some activities that keep everyone in the family happy.

Summer activities to keep your family entertained.

Try a nature walk.

Get out and breathe that fresh air. As you walk with baby in your carrier or stroller, point out everything you see. "Oh look at that big tree" It will help baby understand and develop a love for nature.

Take your kiddie pool to the next level.

Add some plastic balls to your pool and let baby splash the day away. Add some music and bubbles for even more fun! Or use the kiddie pool as an inside ball pit on a rainy day.

Introduce some sensory play with a Jello party!

Bright colors and fun textures make this a great activity for babies and toddlers. Keep it easy to clean up by keeping it outside. Check out more here.

Let baby play with their food.

Another great way to help baby with sensory play? Make colored spaghetti! More fun colors and textures to play with. The best part? Easy clean up. Perfect for playing inside. See more here...

Build a sand box or dirt box.

This one is great for toddlers in the exploration stage. Grab a plastic container, fill it with sand or dirt, and add some toys that scoop. You'll be surprised at how long you little one will be entertained. 

Check out a virtual summer camp.

Places like the San Diego Zoo and programs like the Boy Scouts are now offering virtual summer camps. Not only can your child explore virtually, it gives you a little break while they are learning. Check out this list of 46+ Virtual Summer Camps.

Let your little one help you bake.

If you have an older toddler or preschooler, let them help you make yummy treats like cakes and cookies. Your little one can help by pouring the ingredients into the bowl, mixing everything, and of course, being a taste tester! It's a great way to spend time together and end up with something sweet to eat.

Read together.
