Summer Fun Basket

Who's ready for some summer fun?! My kids have their last day of school on Thursday, and since they've been school aged, I always "surprise" them on the first day of summer vacation with a Summer Fun basket! I've been collecting items for our basket for a few weeks now. When I'm browsing the Target dollar spot, stopping at the craft store, or just stocking up on summer essentials, I am always keeping my eye out for fun, inexpensive items for this occasion. This one is always so much fun and really gets me looking forward to lazy, summer days!

Here's what's in our basket this year (linked when possible)

Sidewalk chalk

Mini kites

Waterproof pouch

Snow cone maker (I gifted this to my kids last year, it was a hit all summer long!)

Snow cone syrup (We needed to replenish our supply!)

Jello beach desert kit (found at Aldi)

Swim goggles (I forgot to add them in before taking the picture!)

Other fun ideas that I've included in the past:

Fun straws

Backyard Bingo game

Butterfly net

Sand buckets and toys

And lastly, I have my eye on this blue tooth speaker! It's so darling and I don't think I can resist it any longer!

Here's to a great summer ahead! What are you most looking forward to?
