It’s a Big Honkin’ Summer with Target at my house, what about yours? Once school let out and the weather heated up, my kids were ready to play all day. I’m all for them having fun, but we needed some ideas and accessories to help us keep busy. We have found everything we needed from beach balls to sunglasses to play equipment at our local Target store. Check out the Target Kids Summer catalog for the hottest summer ideas!
The best $5 I have spent all summer was at Target on a Slip n’ Slide. I figured even if we used it just once, it would be worth that small amount of money. It has actually exceeded my expectations because the kids have gotten many days of use out of it and the slip n’ slide has become their favorite new way to keep cool on these hot days.
Every kid needs to run a lemonade stand at least once in their lifetime. My boys got together with their cousin and created the cutest lemonade stand in town using the items we got from Target. We set up their stand using the banner and sign, money box, juice container and ice bucket. They worked for hours selling lemonade to the locals. I think they drank more lemonade than they actually sold, but they had a lot of fun and will remember it forever. I’m sure we will have at least one more lemonade stand before the summer is over.
The Giant Badminton Set has been a huge hit (no pun intended) with the older kids. The oversized racquet and birdie makes the game easier for us all. It’s the perfect activity for the backyard or to take to the beach. The Toy Golf Club set was just the right size for my almost 3-year-old. These play sets are affordably priced starting at $2.99!
Outdoor play is great, but everyone needs some down time indoors. Beat the heat with crafts like the Kid Made Modern Board Book Kit and Printed Tape Set. We are excited to see what types of things we can make with the funky colored tape! All of the above ideas and more can be found in the Target Summer Kids Catalog.
