HAVE A WATER GUN OR WATER BALLOON FIGHT!

As fun as summer is, being in the sun all day can be exhausting. Why not cool off with a water gun or water balloon fight? When it heats up, gather some friends and organize a water fight right in the comfort of your own yard. Not only will it cool you off, but you’ll be getting in some exercise too!

MAKE A TERRARIUM!

Grow yourself a mini garden this summer. Terrariums are small glass gardens that help plants grow indoors. You don’t even have to leave the house for this, which makes it an easy activity that you can do when you’re feeling lazy.

All you need is a glass container, some soil, and a couple of plants. You could even decorate the container with paint and stickers if you’d like. Terrariums are a fun summer project that keeps you busy and gives you something to look after.

PAINT OUTSIDE!

Grab some paper or a canvas, turn the music up, and get started on your masterpiece. Maybe the outdoor scenery will inspire you, or maybe you’ll want to freestyle it. Whatever you do, use this as a time to reflect and have fun.

These are just a few things you can do to enjoy the summer season this year when you aren’t busy with daily tasks and events. It’s important to make time to enjoy yourself this summer. After all, you deserve it!

Are you tired of the cold and dreary weather? Well then get ready, because summer is on its way!

As far as I’m concerned, summer is a time for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Whether you are spending your summer sizzling away on a white sandy beach, splashing around in the water, or even spending your summer working, there are many ways to make the most of your summer.

Here are five activities you can do at home this summer to have fun!

You can’t take the warm weather for granted when you live in Canada; you have to enjoy the sun as much as you can. So this summer, pack your favourite meal, a speaker, and invite some friends or family to relax under the sun with you. Spend the day eating good food and catching up with friends while you enjoy the fresh air. You could also head outside alone with a good book and find a comfortable tree to lean against while you snack on the food you packed.

Are you looking for an easy summer activity that you could do in your backyard? If so, look no further. Not only is tie-dyeing fun, but you’ll be able to wear whatever you create. Maybe a cute shirt for the hot weather, or a stylish and summery tote bag to carry your beach gear around in. The cool part about tie-dyeing is that the possibilities are endless, and you could do it independently or in a group setting, making it a great and versatile summer activity.
