Looking to have fun while saving money this summer? Here are five ideas to do with the littles in your life! 1. Backyard scavenger hunt: Create a simple list (flowers, bugs, rocks) and let kids explore. 2. Picnic at a park: Pack snacks from home and make it an outing. 3. Library programs: Participate in free summer reading challenges and events. 4. Sidewalk chalk art contest: Encourage kids to decorate the driveway or sidewalk. 5. Volunteer together: Pick up litter in a park or choose another simple activity.
