School’s out for the summer and keeping my kids occupied while having fun is easy when I shop at Dollar Tree! They have everything I need from toys and games, to snacks and drinks. Plus, my creative juices tend to get flowing once I start looking around and sparks inspiration for new games and activities for my kids. On my last trip, I came up with 5 different and unique activities to keep my kids (and even yours) playing outside all summer long. Follow these fun tips I have listed below using everyday affordable supplies for a little summer fun!
DIY Tic-Tac-Toe
Turn a shower curtain into a life size tic-tac-toe game using painter’s tape and frisbees. Use tape to form the cross court, and two different colored frisbees for each team.
Homemade Sprinkler
DIY your own sprinkler using a pool noodle. Use a knife or scissors to add holes to a noodle. Use duct tape to seal one end opening and insert your hose in the other. Crank up the water pressure for a big splash!
Keep Cool with a Sponge Necklace
Cut sponges into necklace and bracelet “beads” and soak in cold water to keep your kids cool as they play.
Driveway Target Game
Using sponges and chalk are all you need to turn your driveway into a target game. Draw the target on the concrete and toss the sponges to score points!
Pool Noodle Airplanes
Turn pool noodles and paper into pool noodle planes. Use scissors, paper, and masking tape to create the wings. Don’t forget to add fire from the exhaust to make it extra fast!
