Summer Essentials for Everyone

Water Guns

Water guns are fun for the whole family. You can buy the cheap plastic ones for a couple of dollars or get the big-size ones that will spray everyone in your path.

Bubbles

Bubbles are always a good time. Whether your kids are blowing them from the wand or if you have some type of bubble machine, they are always a huge hit.

Sprinklers

Sprinklers and water slides are a great way to stay cool on those hot summer days. If you do not have a pool, this is another option to cool off. Plus they are always a fun time and your kids will be talking about it for days.

Toys

Anything that keeps kids occupied outside is great. My boys just like little plastic shovels and just digging in the dirt. Sporting equipment is a good choice depending on your child’s interest. Maybe a plastic frisbee or balls that they can throw around. Honestly, with a kid’s imagination, anything could be a toy to play with.

Attire

Swim trunks and swimsuits are a must for summer activities. Anything that is dealing with sunshine and water requires a swimsuit. My boys will probably be living in swim trunks all summer. Also, sunglasses, hats, and flip flops are also an essential part of a summer outfit. Not only for style but protection from the sun.

Sunblock is also another essential component of summer fun. Make sure to lather your kids up before the head out to prevent any sunburn.

Conclusion

Summer is always a fun season and warm weather. I hope you all have a great summertime and make as many memories with your kids as possible. Pretty soon they will be back in school and cooler weather will be rolling in.
