100+ Budget-Friendly Summer Fun Activities
Make memories together with 100+ budget-friendly screen-free kids’ summer fun activities that can be done from home.
Do you make a summer bucket list with your kiddos?
Every year Zach and I come up with a couple of day trips we want to do with the kids over the course of the summer.
Last year we were a little limited due to the Rona, but we managed to still surprise them with a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.
Day trips are fun, but more often than not you just want a simple activity that can be done together as a family that does not require significant thought, planning, or money.
In the spirit of making budget-friendly memories together this summer, I have compiled 100 kids’ summer activities for you to do together as a family, and the best part?! – NO SCREENS REQUIRED!
