We’re making a list and checking it twice ;) as we put together our Family Summer Bucket List! We’ve each come up with activities we can do this summer, keeping our family busy with fun and exploration!

Make a Summer Bucket List with Kids

I’m happy to be partnering with Post-it Brand on this summer’s list. We will be using their newest collections to help put our Summer Bucket List on display. I’m in love with these Post-it Brand World of Color collections. I chose to use the Marrakesh collection, as I wanted to have a fun rainbow feel to our summer board. It will bring our summer o’ fun to life!

To help us brainstorm the ideas and activities we wanted to do this summer, I found a few places of inspiration in choosing our Summer Bucket List.

Summer Bucket List Inspiration:

101 Summer Bucket List Ideas – I love these ideas from Delia Creates, so many fun ones to try.
Red Tri – this is a great place to find out what there is fun to do in a city near you. They have several different cities they list with family-friendly ideas.
Your State or City Website – there are fabulous resources on your own city or state websites. Simply do a search for your city and find a website with .gov.
Frugal Summer Bucket List Ideas – so many great ideas from The Frugal Girl, all frugal for family fun.
MT on Pinterest – visit our Outdoor Family Fun pin board or our Summer Kids Camp board for fun and crafty ideas to try.

There are so many amazing things to do throughout the summer. It was hard to narrow it down to just 25. And we need to be realistic in our choosing. I don’t want to go overboard and not be able to accomplish most of our list in the next 8-9 weeks!
