August is here and summer is heating up, so we’re bringing you the 8 “hottest” indoor summer activities. Everyone loves going to the park, throwing a Frisbee, or swimming, but here are some ideas for those days you want to stay inside:

Have a Movie Day – Your kids will love the time spent cuddled up on the couch watching their favorite movie and eating popcorn. Who knows, you might enjoy it so much, it becomes a regular thing.

Paint a Picture – 2 pieces of posterboard and some kids paint can make an afternoon fly by. Take a snack break and have a special treat.

Go Bowling – Many bowling alleys have specials during the week or during work hours. Strap those ugly shoes on and go for it.

Taste Test – Put on blindfolds and figure out what different sauces are. This is fun with fruit too.

Put Together a Puzzle – Dig one of those old puzzles out of the back closet and get everyone to the dining table to help.

Cook Something New – Help your kids be self sufficient and teach them how to cook. Today is great day for a new recipe.

Go Window Shopping at the Mall – Walking around the mall can be fun and great exercise. If you can resist the sales, it can be very cheap too!

Play Go Fish – Do you have any Jacks? No, go fish. This is an all time favorite.
