Bucket list with kids for the summer

Great ideas for summer days just pop up sometimes, but "obviously" not when you need them the most 😅

A few years ago I decided to note down when something important, or interesting comes to my mind... well, I had a teacher in primary school always telling "those lacking good memory should have a notebook at least", apparently she already knew something about being a Mom trying to organize everything by herself... 😀

Bucket lists are great, making a bit more challenging, fun, and organized those activities that you would do anyway together with your Little One - if they come into your mind in due time 😅

What can also be good options if you wish to have regular new ideas are kids' subscription boxes! It is such a different feeling to wait for the new surprises to arrive than buying all the staff directly!

But in any way, I decided to prepare a short "bucket list" for those days when we could use some hints 😊

Sleep in a tent
Go for a night excursion with a torch
Walk barefoot on grass
Build a sand-castle
Make lemonade
Watch sunrise and sunset
Help a friend with tasks around the house
Eat corn on the cob
Play badminton
Read a book lying on the grass
Paint rocks
Listen to music in the open air
Have breakfast on your balcony or terrace
Dance in the rain
Prepare home-made ice cream
Watch meteor-shower
Batik a T-shirt
Organize a BBQ
Make a photo of a rainbow
Play jump rope with friends
Eat watermelon
Bake cookies and give some to the neighbors too
Visit an interesting sight nearby (even more fun by a scooter!)
Visit a long-lost relative or friend
Go on a bike trip

Below, there is a shorter version of the bucket list that can be printed and marked when done as well, feel free to use it, so as the hints on the site! 😉

If you are planning a shorter or longer trip during vacation, do not forget to think in advance, and prepare with some travel time activities too! Or even teach your kids to pack for themselves 😉 They are really smart, and it is such a big win for everyone!

Traveling abroad with a baby can be challenging, but totally worth the hustle, just follow these guidelines and enjoy your vacation!

With some organization, you will surely have a great and more relaxed time together!😊
