Around here we spend a lot of time outdoors and this year I plan on a summer filled with fun activities. Limiting screen time and keeping the kids active. It’s pretty easy to do living at the beach đ but I still like to have a backup plan. That is why I put together this list of 100 almost free or free summer activities for kids. This summer bucket list is filled with summer crafts, games, hands-on activities, science, and so much more. I hope you have a great summer full of memories.
