Hello! How is this summer going for you? It’s funny how summer vacations are so different depending on where you live. In England some schools have only just begun their summer holidays, while some US locations are already back to school. However, the weather is still very much summery across the Northern Hemisphere and there’s plenty of time to get outdoors and explore and learn with your children! Today I’m bringing you 30+ fun outdoor summer learning activities to try out this year, and add to your list of ‘must dos’ for next summer.
