Summer is knocking at the door and who doesn’t like to splash some water in the heat? While not everyone has the time or luxury to spend time in the pool some creative and fun activities can be arranged in the backyard of your home, especially to keep children engaged. Here are some fun ideas.
Make a Water Blob If you don’t have a pool in your backyard or neighbourhood, you can try to make your own water blob! With just a roll of heavy-duty plastic sheeting, duct tape, and a hose, you can create a water-filled, giant pillow that’ll keep kids busy all day.
Ice Excavation – Are you on the hunt for water activities for kids who love to explore? Add small plastic toys to a water-filled bowl, then freeze it. Turn the bowl upside down and release the block of ice for a fun excavation activity for little ones.
Ice Cube Painting – Some water activities for kids require just a bit of advance planning, but they’re totally worth it. For this one, freeze non-toxic washable paint and water into ice cubes the night before. Then let your kids design with them as they melt under the summer sun.
