Best Summer Activities For Kids Especially For Preschoolers

If you are thinking of summer activities, then while selecting the right summer activity, talk to your child about what he loves to do and discuss the available options. The activities should be such that it should balance fun and learning. Learning should be covert. If opting for summer camp or workshops, then consider cost and proximity. Look for workshop conducted by professional where the batches are small and environment is safe.

With the kids at home through out the day, we need to turn our every day activities into creative projects, that both entertain and keep kids busy.

Cooking and Serving :

The idea is to mess around and have some fun. And if your kids pick up something in the process, even better. Get your kids involved in preparing some simple dishes like salads or cookies or rolling chapathis.  Children love to squish and squelch things with their hands. So whether you need to do it to mixing tomato pieces for a salad or potatoes, to make a curry. Get your child involved. This way he would feel happy, he was part the of the job. Also praise your child, by telling a friend or relative in detail about the job he did, in front of him. This makes a lot of difference.

Summer Activities

Hit the beach or at least pool side:

Kids love water, especially beach, be it winter or summer. And beach is one place, where your kids would get all your undivided  attention. No TV, No phones and No laptop. J.  There are lot of activities you could do there. Fly a kite, Pick up shells, Go for a looooong walk , Make sand castle, Play a ball game. These are the days our kids would remember, long after holidays are over.

Summer Reading :

Expose your preschooler to a variety of reading material. Short stories, newspaper, comic books, novels. Let him guide you in what he interested to read. For example, if she loves animails, then give him some short moral story books, like panchatantra. Then discuss the characters in the story, moral of the story etc.

An Arts and Craft Idea:

Child can make a cup which says “Yes I can”. Give your child few old magazines. And ask him to cut out small images of things(the size should be such that, atleast 4 pictures should fit in a cup),  which he can do. Now Give your child a clean cup and ask him to stick those image on to it. Now the self – confidence booster cup ready, which will remind him of his abilities.
