Summer Activities for Preschoolers
As I’m sharing so many ideas today I’ve split it into two headings to make a bit easier to navigate Summer Crafts for Preschoolers and Easy Summer Activities for Preschoolers. There are already over 40 fun ideas but it’s likely that I’ll be adding more to this list as summer progresses!
This frozen flower activity is one of our favourite summer activities that my kids enjoy year after year, it’s been crazy popular on Facebook too and if you watch the video you’ll see how easy it is to make!
For each list below I’ve listed the activities in the order that they appear in the collage above them, there’s loads more ideas than just in the pictures though so do take a look through to find some new inspiration for this summer.
