When compiling this list of things to do this Summer I wanted it to include educational activities, sensory activities and exploration. I wanted their imaginations to run wild and free. Here is my huge list of things to do this summer!

summer educational activity ideas

Inevitably there are rainy days and my kids want to play the iPad. I have no problem with them playing the iPad as long as it is educational and the screen time is limited. I have a few favorite apps that I love because they are educational and my kids think they are super fun games.

Our latest favorite kids app around here is called Speakaboos. It is an educational app for kids ages 2-6 that encourages reading in a fun, interactive way. I love that this app is age appropriate for 3 of my 4 kids thanks to the 2-6 age range it covers.

My 2 year old son is obsessed with Elmo and imagine the thrill he got when Elmo came on and sang his favorite song. He loves Speakaboos.

My older two kiddos love the reading features that allow them to listen to the story and interact. They can highlight words, interact with the story and hear the story read aloud since they can’t read it themselves yet. It matches their ability level so well!

One thing I love about Speakaboos is that you don’t need the internet to use it. One of our other favorite apps requires the internet in order to use it so that means that we can’t use it on any of our Summer road trips. Speakaboos solved that problem and we can take it along with us in the car. Speakaboos offers unlimited access to 200+ stories and songs and I don’t have to pay any extra during my subscription. There aren’t any ads popping up at my kids either. Win-Win.

Want to see if your children love Speakaboos as much as mine do? You can get a totally FREE trial to test it out before you commit to buy! Speakaboos offers a monthly or yearly subscription so you can pay a fee and never have to worry about your kids buying anything additional within the app or dealing with bothersome ads.

I want to make your Summer boredom-free so I am giving away 3 one-year subscriptions to Speakaboos, our favorite children’s app! Enter to win below. Good luck!

  1. This is a great list of what to do with kids this summer to prevent boredom as well as to help them learn a little still and not suffer from Summer Brain 😉

  2. Nice! You have made a summer activity list well to prevent these kiddos from getting bored. Or you might also try to enroll them for a summer art class or music class, who knows they might also enjoy it.

  3. Great list. We homeschool, and often do summer school because I like to stay inside during the hot-hot weather. We love to spend time outside hiking when the weather is nice, but I love educational screen time too. My kids have learned so much from screen time, including how to read at a very young age.

  4. I try to get them outside as much as possible. We like to do treasure hunts, I’ll either plant the treasures prior to the hunt or we’ll go to a park and do a nature hunt.

  5. I like the educational screen time ideas. I am always looking. For good ones I know other moms like!! They are great for those rainy days!!

  6. It’s hard to find volunteer opportunities for small children, so a bunch of us clean up a local park a few times in the summer
