Summer Activities

 

It’s that time again. The beautiful days of summer have come again once more. But along with summer can come the questions of ‘what to do?’. So to prevent boredom, or just to spark some fun, I’m here to help! Today I will make a list of fun Summer activities (that I hopefully haven’t listed before!). Just in case you want more than what’s on this list, you can check out my other posts on Summer boredom! Ok, let’s get into it!

Try a New Hobby

There are lots of hobbies and that equals lots of fun! You could try rollerblading (I rollerblade, so I can personally say that it is super fun!), dancing, crocheting, journaling, or whatever else you can think of! There are lots of fun ones out there!

Make a Scrapbook

This could be a normal scrapbook or you could make it a Summer scrapbook. You could list things you did during Summer, fun drinks, outfits, and put pictures of friends, family, or whatever else was in your Summer! Of course, making a normal one is fun too! So get out the markers and get started!

Make Potpourri

(Just in case you were wondering, the word above is pronounced Po-Pour-E, or at least that’s how I pronounce it ;P) Potpourri is essentially a bag full of petals, leaves, cedar, and other things! Basically anything you can find in your garden can go in! Just be careful with lavender—it’s strong ;P. My cousins and I love making potpourri in our grandma’s garden, she has lots of beautiful flowers that smell and look really nice! Sometimes we even soak the petals in water before pouring them in a bag (though I’m not sure it makes a difference smell wise :P). When making potpourri I suggest you put it in a bag with super small holes around it (not sure what they are called) so that you can smell it, but it won’t get everywhere.

Go to a Craft Fair

Lots of craft fairs happen all year round, so it probably wouldn’t be hard to find one in your area happening this Summer! Craft fairs are full of people with vendors selling homemade items! You can find crocheting things, jewelry, and lots more! And if you wanted, you can even participate and get your own vending booth! It does cost a fee, but it can be lots of fun!

Go to an Art Fair

An Art fair is like a Craft fair, but with art! There are lots of beautiful things that you can find there! And, just like with the Craft fair, you could participate as well!

Go to the Library

I love books, so going to the library is very fun. There are lots of great books, and I have found some more that I really like! Libraries are great for that sort of thing. So if you like reading, I definitely recommend visiting a library this Summer!

Go Swimming or to the Beach

These are natural things to do during Summer, but I figured I’d put them on here anyways ;P. The beach is a lovely place, and there are so many shells you can find! You can build up your own collecting of shells, or you can make jewelry out of them! And, of course, swimming is great too! It’s a great way to stay cool, and it’s also just fun!

Have a Photo Shoot

Photo shoots can be really fun, because you can get super silly ;P. The possibilities are endless! You could take pictures of you holding the sun, you as a mermaid on the beach, or just super cool pictures!

I hope these ideas helped you, and that you have a great Summer!
