When it’s the middle of the summer and your preschooler is home for the break, there are going to be days when it’s best to keep the kiddos indoors when it’s too hot. Walking the thin line between getting sunburnt and getting burnt out on boredom can be tricky, but with a few quick ideas, you can plan a summer that is memorable, invigorating, and best of all, out of the heat!
Get Thinking!
Get out of the house and hit up a museum. Some of the most exciting museums skew toward natural history, biology and science. Science museums and activity centers often cater to younger visitors with engaging exhibits that are comprehensible for preschoolers and their parents/caregivers alike. Most science centers, however, charge an admittance fee. For the more cost-conscious among us, however. . .
Get Artsy!
Check out your local art museum. Many of the larger, more historic galleries in the nation have trended toward offering free admittance to their permanent collections for all patrons (young or old) in order to appeal to a wider spectrum of visitors. Youth activity centers within art museums are also on the rise, to give a hands-on experience for preschoolers and older kids. Bonus: Many museums, galleries, and arts organizations offer art camps and classes to help keep your preschooler engaged long-term!
Get Sporty!
Parents might remember the dingy, stinky ball pits of yesteryear, but this isn’t your grandma’s bounce house! When the weather is too hot for outdoor sports, check out a nearby indoor activity center. A recent fad is the trampoline park—fitted with enough bounce pads and foam pits to fill the heart of everyone from the most amateur gymnast to the Cirque du Soleil-wannabes. Looking for something a little more extreme? Indoor skydiving takes the fear of heights out of the equation and most allow kids as little as three years old to fly!
Going Out Not Possible?
Sometimes, staying at home can be the most inexpensive option, but that doesn’t mean the kids can’t have fun! Make some homemade snacks, check out an educational TV show, or do some arts and crafts!
When all else fails, turn to music!
