This week’s Amazon Sunday is all about the activities I’m leaning on to keep my girls busy as school winds down and summer begins. Right now, with the weather so beautiful, they love being outside, so I rounded up a mix of toys and games they can play with by the pool, in the backyard, or out in the garden.

For days when it gets too hot, or when they just want to play inside, I love easy activities they can do all on their own. A few finds that get them thinking and creating independently, like tracing boards, sparkly markers, and colorful blocks. It’s a fun mix of outdoor play, creativity, and little learning moments to kick off summer break.
