Ultimate summer bucket list for kids: 100 things to do this summer

Summer is THE BEST time to have fun with the kids; so we have put together what can only be described as the ULTIMATE kids summer bucket list! Print it out, and tick off as many as you can from today.

We have pretty much everything we could think of on the list, to keep you busy, and to give your children some wonderful memories over the summer. We’ll be doing as many as we can as we know that it won’t be long before the kids are with their own friends, and don’t want to spend time with us at all.

Cherish those time when the kids are smaller – and make as many memories as you can.
