Things to do before the end of Summer
The summer holidays seem to fly by in a blur of ice creams, fun days out, and long sunny afternoons. But before you know it, it’s time to swap the later nights for early mornings.
To make the most of the last few weeks before the new term, here are some fun (and secretly useful!) activities to enjoy together. They’ll help kids ease back into routines, build excitement, and create happy memories to carry with them into the school year.
Scavenger Hunt Challenge 🍃
Turn your garden or local park into a treasure trove. Create a list of items - like 'something soft,' 'something yellow,' or 'three kinds of leaves' - and set the kids off on a timed hunt. Prizes optional, giggles guaranteed.
Garden Glamping 🏕️
You don’t need to pack the car to enjoy a night under the stars. Pitch a tent or teepee in the garden and let the kids transform it into their dream hideaway - think cushions, fairy lights, bunting, and all their favourite snacks.

Cosy Reading Corner 📖
Drag beanbags, blankets, or a hammock outside and create a special spot for stories. Encourage the kids to pick their own books, add a snack or two, and enjoy the summer evening nights with a good read.

Outdoor Painting 🎨
Lay out a big sheet of paper (or cardboard) in the garden, roll up sleeves, and go wild with paint, brushes, and sponges. For an easier clean-up, chunky chalk on the pavement works wonders - and the rain will do the tidying for you.
Bug Explorer Day 🦋
Head into the garden or a nearby meadow and see how many different bugs you can find. Observe them gently, snap a photo or two, and set them free again.

These last golden days of summer don’t need to be fancy to be memorable. Whether you’re glamping in the garden or spotting stars in the night sky, it’s the simple moments - shared together - that make the best memories.
(And of course, don’t forget your sun hats … adventures are always better when your little ones are comfy and protected from the sun)
