With Summer in full swing, staying creative can be challenging for many parents with children home from school or figuring out what to take over for Grandma’s tomorrow. Luckily for you, I’ve found some tried-and-true summer fun toys that will keep your kids busy for hours. You’ll thank me later.

Time For Art’s Painting4Real Kits
Perhaps the cutest and most fun way to help Dad on the farm or in the yard this summer is with their own little John Deere. Make a game out of cleaning up the yard or finishing up that DIY project; exhaust the little one so the evenings can be just a little quieter.

Something for the older kids and really enjoying quality time with the grandparents is Time For Art’s Painitng4Real Kits. Perfect for rainy days or when the heat is unbearable, this self-paced real art tutorial is everything. Seriously, paint by numbers has nothing on this. A comprehensive 9-piece set comes with a video tutorial taught by professional artist Allison Crary, which actually teaches you how to paint and unlock new techniques. Stock up on a few and host your very own “Sip & Paint” style for kids!
Stomp Rocket Rocket Launcher for Kids

My nephew couldn’t get enough of the Stomp Rocket Jr Multi-Color Rocket Launcher for Kids – eight foam rockets that soar up to 100 feet when you stomp on the plunger. Great for keeping kids active for hours in the yard, and no batteries required! This is also great for kids because it encourages STEM learning.
Power Pony Ride On Horse

Honestly, I am a little jealous that they didn’t have the Power Pony Ride On Horse for Kids when I was growing up. I would’ve been on cloud nine, a “my size” pony to accommodate my extensive My Little Pony collection. But now, kids today can have that magical dream – get two or more and have a pony race with the kids!
Zigglebee Imagination Book

Funny name, serious fun, and learning! Not only does Zigglebee offer fun stories for kids to read, but it also allows them to be illustrators! How fun is that? Giving them the opportunity to use their own creativity to interpret their vision of the story right into the book!
