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.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I My monstera deliciosa had some droopy leaves, so I asked my friend Molly at @_rootsplantco what she thought would be best. She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.
