Fun Backyard Activities

Filed Under: Family, Parenting Tagged With: juicy juice, summer

I received compensation, including free product, for support of Juicy Juice products.

School is almost out for the Summer and it is just not feasible to go and do something every single day. You come up with all these plans and a few weeks in your kids are saying how bored they are. Even if we can’t go places every day I still need to have a few ideas on fun backyard activities they can do when they say they are bored. 

Fun Backyard Activities

Fun Backyard Activities

Bubbles

Bubbles - Fun Backyard Activities

This is a favorite. All my kids and puppy enjoy bubbles. It is so simple, and cheap. We usually always have bubbles laying around. A bubble machine makes it even easier. 

Draw Wet Chalk Art

This is so neat, First you wet down your patio and then draw on it with chalk. The chalk with be more vibrant and will write easily.

Fun In The Water

Fun In The Water - Fun Backyard Activities

Get a cheap little plastic pool. 

Upcycle Juice Boxes Into Boats - Fun Backyard Activities

Or you can up-cycle juice boxes into boats. This is so fun because they can build the boat and play in the water.

Toy Excavtaion

We have a little area of sand we let the kids dig in. They have a lot of fun burying toys, and then digging them up. 

Conduct A Science Experiment

You can conduct a science experiment by taking old and broken crayons plus aluminum foil outside. First, place foil on a baking sheet or plate. Next take the wrappers off of the crayons  and put the crayons  on the foil. Now wait and watch as the sun slowly melts the crayons. Once they are melted, bring them back inside and let solidify to the point you can fold the wax without it dripping.  If it’s no longer malleable, bring outside for a couple of minutes and try again. Once the wax can bend without breaking or dripping, roll your melted wax to make a straw-like crayon. Let sit until fully hardened and draw!

Make A Bug Catcher
DIY Bug Catcher - Fun Backyard Activities

We like to make bug catchers out of up-cycled Juicy Juice bottles. 

Have a picnic

Backyard Picnic - Fun Backyard Activities

Lunch, snacks and drinks outside are much more fun then inside. Plus, it makes less clean up for you. YAY!

We recently tried the new Juicy Juice Fruitifuls Organic. It has 45% less sugar, and has 1/2 cup of fruit per serving. 

Grape has been the favorite so far. I personally like the taste of the fruit punch. Yumm.

Remember less is more. I challenge you to find fun backyard activities this Summer. You don’t always have to do big and expensive outings.

Right now you can use Checkout 51 and earn cash back on the new Juicy Juice Fruitifuls Organic.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.

Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one tha Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn’s last day of school vs first day of scho Carsyn’s last day of school vs first day of school. He desperately needs a hair cut but I love the messy look. He’s grown so much this year. Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.
