Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. School is *almost* out, which means you have two long months of planning activities, outings, camps and other vacations with the kids. But what about those days in between, when you want them to do more than rot in front of a screen? Whether you're looking for things to do on the weekends or during the sweltering weekdays when they're not in camps, we've got you covered. As a parent to a seven and nine year old, I've been lucky to spend a good amount of summer days with the kids. Here are some of our favourite, kid-approved activities to kick off the best summer ever. Make Ice Cream Ninja Creami What's more summer than fresh ice cream? Sure, you could take a trip to your local ice cream parlour for a celebratory scoop, but there's something wholesome about making your own ice cream, too. The top rated Ninja CREAMi also doles out gelato, milkshakes, sorbet and smoothies with the touch of a button, and allows you to customize your frozen treat exactly as you like it. $169.99 on Amazon $169.99 at Canadian Tire Story continues below advertisement Water Day at Home Reusable Water Balloons Splash pads are great, but if you have access to a backyard you can easily set something up in your own space to kick off summer. Invest in a kiddie pool or mini splash pad, and don't forget to stock up on reusable water balloons. These self-closing balloons are easy to use, have received rave reviews for durability, and don't leave tiny pieces of plastic everywhere. $19.99 on Amazon (was $35.99) Backyard Camping Camping Tent with Rainfly Your family might not be ready for all-out camping, but a backyard camping trip is a great way to kick off the summer. Pitch a tent in the yard and know you've got the comfort of a flushing toilet and comfy beds just steps away. Make it extra festive with a backyard fire, barbecue or some string lights. $79.79 on Amazon (was $83.99) Story continues below advertisement Pickleball Tournament Anywhere Sports Youth Pickleball Set Looking for ways to keep the family active together? Why not teach yourself how to play one the trendiest sports around. This easy-to-assemble kit can be used indoors or out, and includes everything you need to get a game or tournament going. $87.99 at Mastermind Toys Picnic at the Park Snackle Box with Lid Picnics are a fun way to get the kids outdoors while exploring new parks, splash pads and conservation areas. Of course as any parent knows, lugging around extra items is never a good time. That's why we love these trendy snackle boxes, which hold an array of kid- and adult-friendly snacks that give you a taste of all your favourite foods in one convenient case. $36.99 on Amazon Story continues below advertisement You may also like: Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 – $23.97 Jan & Jul Quick Dry Sun-Hat – $28.99 Toss and Catch Ball Set – $33 Start a Reading Challenge Summer Reading Challenge Journal for Kids Want to keep up your family's literacy during the summer break?
