12 Outdoor Water Activities to Keep Kids Cool This Summer

FEATURED Healthy Family Lifestyle Keeping Busy Uncategorized

It’s time that the heat starts to rise and our kids while excited for summer start to get a little antsy inside. With summer officially in full force here in California and the temperatures starting to heat up you can add a few fun DIY’s and activities to your day to keep your kids cool this summer. 

  1. Squirt Guns – I know there’s a lot that kids can do with these toys besides just having fun getting one another wet. 
  2. Water Head – Create a fun and simple water game by cutting a hole in a water bottle. Another child can try to ill the bottle with a water gun. First one to the line wins. This is simple and so fun! 
  3. Create A Water Play Station – Take a large container and fill it with water and different toys. I let our girls add in small containers and allow them to create their own water sensory bin. 
  4. Mud Pies – Probably my kid’s favorite summer activity is making mud pies. We save old plastic containers from food packaging and spoons to allow them to create their own mud pie station. 
  5. Fill The Bucket – All you need is two buckets and kids can use containers to transfer water from one bucket to another. First one to transfer the water wins! 
  6. Water Balloons – These are probably my gardener’s least favorite summer activity but kids love it. An epic outdoor battle with water balloons is something kids will enjoy time and time again! 
  7. Frozen Solid – We like to take a frozen container of water and I put in small toys. Our kids love trying to get their prizes out of the frozen solid water. 
  8. Sponge Toys – All it takes are some sponges to get your kids moving with our simple and fun sponge toysthat you can make yourself. 
  9. Yard Sprinklers – These are so simple and provide a classic summer play. We have a trampoline so our kids love putting a sprinkler under the trampoline for added fun! 
  10. Slip N’ Slide – This classic toy has year after year been a neighborhood favorite. It’s easy to set up and provides endless amounts of fun. 
  11. Frozen Paint Cubes – Make your own frozen paint cubes for painting outdoors. Simply freeze some finger paint and a little water in an ice tray. Simple and easy frozen paint cubes! 
  12. Tin Foil Ice Boats – Tin foil creates the perfect setup for a boat race. Simply take ice cubes and freeze in a toothpick to create a sail. Kids can simply float the ice boats down your tin foil race track.
