When the temperature rises the kids get cranky and Mommy’s patience runs low. Send them outside to play with a few fun activities that will keep them busy and cool at the same time.

Running through a Sprinkler is a classic summer past time. The sprinklers are fancier than they used to be but that just makes it more fun!
A Snow Cone Maker is great to have around for a tasty treat on a hot summer day.
Set them up to play some water balloon games such as “hot potato” or balloon toss.
Let them make their own popsicles- this way you can control their sugar intake and maybe even get them to add in some yogurt or a few chunks of fruit.
A water activity table will help keep the little ones cool
Take a dip in an inflatable pool for splashing fun time!
Water guns are always hit with the older crowd
