Make this a summer to remember with an action packed activity schedule that is full of activities for siblings to do together.

Sibling summer activities

Being a busy mum of 3 kids, I know how hard it can be to juggle long summer days at home with your kids. We all relish the break from our routines that the school holidays bring with them, but the novelty of long lazy mornings can soon wear off and you start to hear calls of “I’m bored” before you know it. Stay one step ahead this year with our handy list of activities, all of which you can have prepared or be easily set up when you need them most.

Sibling Summer Activities

I have selected our favourite activities so far for this list, the ones that my kids really connected with and had awesome fun with. We will certainly be doing lots of them again over the holidays and hopefully coming up with a few new ones to share with you all over on Instgram as well as the blog.
