Summer Activity Ideas?

I wish I had more ideas for free summer activities for my 16 month old! So far, it’s been all about taking walks, going to the park, walking around the backyard, and playing in the pool. I’ve been keeping an eye on Facebook to see if my town has any events going on, and it’s been pretty silent. What are you guys doing for entertainment?

At 16 months, the simplest things are the best! Also, check the local library! They usually have free toddler playgroups or story hours. Libraries are also great for free, air-conditioned story time :heart_hands:

Do you have a library? That’s always super fun, or maybe do some sensory play or do scavenger hunts on a walk!

I’m always looking for reasons to leave the house! I get so stir crazy!

Sensory play would probably interest my daughter. I’ll have to go on Pinterest and find some ideas! Thanks!

Oh, I so relate to this. I have been all about some free activities! I keep looking out for local Facebook events hopefully your community we’ll have some good ones pop up soon. We’ve been taking full advantage of parks and even driving a little further on hotter days to do some laps around the climate controlled mall haha

Now that you mention it, we could probably check out some different parks in our area! I always go to the same one. The mall isn’t a bad idea either! The air conditioning is a definite plus!

I leave pretty often because I too get stir crazy!!! Unless it’s cold then I’m like in hibernation mode

Going to a different park, going on a wilderness walk stop and look at nature. Going to the mall when the weather is too hot outside. Finding a local moms walking group. The library for story time. If you have a rec center near you going swimming. Going to a local beach or river. Make a scavenger hunt before a walk to make it more interesting. I hope this helps

Haha it’s so hard to get motivated to go anywhere when it’s cold!!

These are some good suggestions! Thank you! I really wish I could find a local mom’s walking group. I’m going to have to take a look to see if there is one.

They are hard to find and usually in the morning. I’ve been to some but the timing never works out

That’s a bummer. I do prefer to go in the morning since it’s cooler out, so that would be alright
