Engaging Activities For Boys

Welcome back to the Weekly Kids Co-op!  With summer right around the corner, I am compiling a list of fun things that I know my kids will want to try.  I love summer break, and I can hardly wait for my kids home all day.  Their break never seems like it is long enough to accommodate all the things we want to do, so I am starting planning now:)   I love this list of Engaging Activities For Boys linked up from the Weekly Kids Co-op.

Engaging Activities for Boys

  • Simple boats that are sure to be a hit ~ Tinfoil River and Ice Boats
  • Create a catapult to launch marshmallows ~ Clothespin Catapults 
  • Embrace their curious side ~ Tinkering
  • Add a fun spiderweb trellis to your garden ~ Spider Web Trellis 
  • Create building pieces, you are only limited by your imagination  ~ Cardboard Building Boards
  • Take the cars outdoors and construct some roads ~ DIY Outdoor Roads 
  • Fun game that your boys will love ~ Ping Pong Fish Bowl Toss
