Ways to Keep Our Kids Busy During Summer:
1. Get in the Water
We can’t talk about summer without mentioning pools, right? Swimming is the best way to cool off the summer heat. Ang init na, di ba? Swimming at the club is what my kids will be doing almost everyday this summer because not only is this a very useful life skill, but it also provides good all-around body workout.
My kids eat a LOT of sweets, and swimming is one way they make sure that they do not carry any excess weight. |
2. Get outdoors
Since it's summer, the kids often ask us to bring them outdoors... they love to bike, go on their scooter or just play with each other. As a mom, I would also rather that they have some fun outdoors rather than stay in their room and attend to their gadgets.
3. Get a book
My daughter, B, loves classics. Once she starts reading, it's so hard to get her away from her books na. |
4. Get In The Kitchen Together
Now that they can manage to be in the kitchen on their own, I have asked the girls to take charge of preparing a meal twice a week this summer, and that also includes making a grocery list for the meal that they are cooking. But what they really look forward to is baking something sweet.

5. Get Into Art

#PlayWith OREO
As you can see, for my kids, play time is also synonymous with OREO. OREO is my kids' fave cookie sandwich, and we've had so much fun bonding over OREOs... whether just eating them, getting creative with them or cooking with them.
My girls and I did a bento box using OREOs. You can click on the link just in case you missed that post. And if you look closely, you will see the newest OREO flavor... OREO Strawberry Creme! I am sure all the young girls will get crazy over the pink sandwich frosting like mine did.
