20 FREE Summer Activities that Inspire Creativity
Summer is officially here on June 20 and most kids are out of school. Soon you will be hearing, “I’m bored.” It’s easy to fall into the trap of allowing your children to watch television or play on electronic devices, but I’d like to give you some other options for inspiring creativity.

- Have a picnic in your backyard or local park
- Go for a nature walk or hike
- Visit a local park or playground
- Go to your local library

What would you add to this list? What are some fun FREE activities you have planned for the summer?
I need to do a picnic this year, it’s been a while. Thanks for the list!
This is a great list. I am so ready for summer and all of the fun family activities that is brings.
Great list! I like taking advantage of free outdoor summer activities. Here in Grand Rapids, MI, we have movies in the park, summer festivals, jazz concerts in the park, yoga and other workout classes. The best part? They’re all outdoors!
Well, mine isn’t fun, but these are things I’m going to make my girls do. They will be doing Khan for 30 minutes a day. It’s a free Math program that’s fabulous! Also, they will be caring for our animals.
Love this list! It’s really important for me to take my son to our local library this summer especially since he’s on break from school. The way they have it decorated is like a treehouse theme so he LOVES going there and it will definitely inspire his creative side!
