Following on from last year’s Summer Activity post, I thought why not make it bigger and hopefully better. I have put together this list with days at home in mind, staycations and a few holiday ideas, so that hopefully it will give you some inspiration whether you’re at home or away this Summer. I have tried to be mindful of all ages, as we have 4 ranging from 2-13, so I find it helpful to think about a broad range of ages when planning activities.
I have included my Pinterest board of Holiday Boredom Busters that will hopefully link into giving you a bit more detail on some of the activities. If you manage to get to the bottom of the 100 list there is a handy image that you can use to refer easily to all 100 activities. Lastly if you’re also in need of a complete Summer Holiday guide then do go check out my lovely friend Bethanie over at Northumberland Family Diaries who has put a handy guide together. Now I present you with 100 things to do this Summer!
