Heaven knows all us mama’s are going to need some ideas to keep our babies and kids busy this summer.

Plus these are all FABULOUS party ideas.
So without further adieu, the best collection of
Summer Party Games for Toddlers!
DIY Outdoor Bowling Game
Grab a few bottles of empty juice or oatmeal cans and a large inflatable ball and let your kids bowl for hours!
I love that in this option, there are ‘bumper lanes’ made of pool noodles.
And if you don’t want to take the time to make a DIY Bowling Game, you can get an absolute DARLING set HERE.

Sponge Bomb Water ‘Fights’
It gets HOT here in Texas and I’m always looking for ways to cool my kids down. I like them to play outdoors in the summer, but without water of some kind it’s WAY too hot.
I love the idea of making Sponge Water Bombs. They are not as messy or time consuming as water balloons and are WAY safer for toddlers to play with.
You can make your own or can purchase water balls HERE.
