Summer Activities and Free Printables

Summer Activities and Free Printables are the perfect way to learn, master, and review learning concepts. 

We have found that summer is such a fabulous time to learn, especially as the kids get bored without regular schedules and routines.

Summer learning is also a great way to prevent regression, for those who struggle.

In our home, summer learning is a normal and regular thing. Over the years, we've enjoyed multiple themes. These include:

  • Astronomy
  • Birds
  • Botany
  • Camping
  • Insects
  • Ocean
  • Pioneer Day
  • Sharks
  • Summer Treats

All of our Summer Activities and Free Printables are here in one place for easy access, organized by theme.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Astronomy


Summer can be the perfect time of year to study astronomy and other aspects of the universe. The weather is warm.  Night skies are often clear.  Use these activities and free printables by day and then grab your telescope and enjoy the stars, moon, and planets at night.

Each and every day during the summer the kiddos spend time bird watching.  They can't get enough of it.  There are so many to identify and enjoy.  These bird activities and free printables are perfect to use during the summer months.

Insects


I don't know what it's like where you live but there is an over abundance of insects in the summer here.  Every summer this leads to discovery, observation, and numerous bug encyclopedias being spread out all over the house.  These activities and free printables are the perfect addition to all the learning that goes on.
