Do you want to create some amazing summer memories with your little one? I need things to do in the summer that my twins and older child can do, since he will be out of school for the summer soon. Also, the whole family can do most of these ideas together, too! Sometimes, it can be hard to find things that we can all enjoy together since there is almost an eight-year age gap between my kids. That’s where I came up with this list of toddler summer activities that the whole family can do together.
Instead of going off and doing separate things, these summer wish list activities will help foster family bonding!
Most of these activities I have done with my 9-year-old son- starting when he was little, that we still do every summer now.
They are now traditions we do every summer. I still remember doing these traditions with him when he was little, and realized all of them were mostly free, or inexpensive – all of these are things he still remembers doing to this day. It brings back wonderful memories, too!
Summer is a fun time to be outdoors for us because the weather is nice and not rainy! We get to do things we typically can’t do in bad weather.
Every summer we look forward to going to the beach – just a day trip that is about a 2 hour drive each way. The drive is half the fun! We look forward to trying new parks and bringing just a ball to play with. I love simple things where you actually have to interact with each other and put down the electronics!
My twins are finally at an age where they can go to a park and play for a while and go out for frozen yogurt. So we will be hopefully doing all of these ideas on the list this summer. I can’t wait to get started making some awesome summer memories!

This is a good activity if it’s not too hot outside, or go in the morning. A lot of the berries will get eaten during this activity if you go with a toddler, but it’s a good experience so they can start learning where their food comes from, and is fun, too! Usually, berries are cheaper this way, and fresher! Make sure to bring sunscreen and a sun hat!
Bring a snack/lunch and lots of water on your outings – saves money and keeps you from eating out.
I bring my Toddler Car Kit with me in the summer since we are out and about a lot. This includes things like diapers, wipes, sunscreen and sun hats, and other items we need when we’re out.
Go at an optimal time for your toddler – For us that’s mornings.
Remember to always supervise your child will all of these activities. The summer can get hot so make sure to go in somewhere cool if it’s too hot outside and drink lots of fluids!
