We propose you, within our Special Summer with children, plans and activities so that you can spend a great holiday also if you are not going to leave your place of habitual residence. With these ideas for him Summer with children in the city you are going to have a lot of fun, we are sure.
Many families must spend their summer with children in the city, some for work reasons and others for economic circumstances, or simply because traveling during all ecolar vacations is not possible. And, although cities are sometimes hostile to children, we can also have a good time summer with children in the city.
But vacations in the city, even if it is our usual city, do not have to be boring nor do we have to lock ourselves at home. We propose some activities you can do with children in the city during the summer We hope they help you have a better time.
Go to the park for a picnic
Children usually have to go to bed early during the school year; On the other hand, on vacation, we can be much more flexible with the schedules and take advantage of the cool of the sunset and the night to play and dine outdoors. We propose them A picnic in the park.
Surely, even if you live in the city, there is a park near you where you can picnic on the grass or at picnic tables. Bring a nice tablecloth, lights, and easy-to-eat food typical of picnics: empanada, tortilla, breaded steaks, potato salad, stuffed eggs, cold roast chicken ... and even a watermelon.
If you can't go out to the field, do a picnic in the park It is also a good alternative to enjoy dining outdoors.
Go to the pool
When it's very hot nothing better than spend the day in a pool, better, in my opinion and whenever possible, during the week, it is not so crowded. It is important not to forget the essential precautions: protection from the sun, slippers to avoid catching fungi or stepping on anything that could harm, not running on the edge and being adults always attentive to children to avoid accidents.
Another of the things we can do, related to the use of swimming pools, is point the child, if you want, to an intensive swimming course. It gives them a lot of security and it also implies a variation of the refreshing and stimulating routine.
Visit the museums of the city
Except if we live in a very tourist city and even in them, museums, in summer and during the week, are usually quite clear. Children, if they go from small, learn to enjoy.
To visit museums in your city is a good summer activity. Those of natural sciences, especially if they are interactive, have many proposals for them, and they also love the specific ones of animals, although, in my experience, a short visit to an art museum is also very suggestive for them.
It is important, though, that parents prepare the visit a little earlier to help children enjoy it more.
Walks of cultural and historical interest
Similar to their educational interest, but not the same as visiting museums, they are routes of cultural and historical interest of your city or from neighboring towns. Surely there is a church or cathedral, an old quarter, a main square or a palace or noble house that can be visited.
As in the previous case, it is convenient for parents to inform themselves of the visit to plan it well, not to go for a walk in the hottest hours and try to liven up the route with refreshing stops in a park or an ice cream shop. Knowing the city itself is always something that fills children with pride and in any town we will find opportunities to enjoy Culture or History.
If there is a theater festival that is not too dense or a typical fair we can also include them in our plans.
Botanical garden or park
In almost all major cities we can find a botanical garden or at least a park with a tour of botanical interest Present the different plants with an informative poster.
How Summer plan with children in the city, early morning or late afternoon, plan a visit to a botanical gardenIt is interesting and educational. We can prepare the visit before if possible, or, if we have it, go with a botany book or then look for the information of the different plants.
We can also encourage children to make a field notebook drawing each tree or, if they are small, making a large drawing on a cardboard with everything he has seen and we have been explaining it.
Wildlife reserve
In some cities there are, on the outskirts, reserves or wildlife recovery centers that can be visited. They are very interesting and the more they are, the less weight their commercial facet has and the more focused they are on the conservation of native fauna.
In these spaces children enjoy a lot, they link with animals and understand how important it is to take care of their habit and avoid practices that harm them.
Photo safari
Any of the activities that we have proposed are likely to be saved as photographs. But, when we propose a photo safari in the cityIt is not necessary to make any special plans.
For children, everyday and familiar things have an enormous value, because they retain the capacity to be amazed at the simple and love the environment in which they feel safe. Therefore, make a photo safari in the city It is a plan that will excite them and make the day something very special.
Simply prepare for a good walk through the places we usually visit every day, a camera and desire to discover those moments and small details that usually go unnoticed.
We hope our ideas of Summer activities with children in the city they are interesting and that help you to spend better these days enjoying with your children.
