11 June, 2024 • Par Natacha Langlois

It's official: there are only two weeks left in the school year, and finally the long-awaited holidays will be upon us! But because this time of year when children are all at home full-time can also be a challenge, we have prepared a practical summer guide for you, where you will find a multitude of tools and resources to live a harmonious and relaxing family summer, and this with independent children who fully collaborate on a daily basis (at least, most of the time!).

Outdoor Play Ideas When Kids Are Bored

Of course, you don't have to play the nice organizer all summer long, and it goes without saying that your children will certainly get bored at times during the summer season! But if they happen to go around in circles too much for your liking, we suggest in our summer guide several ideas for easy-to-prepare outdoor games that will definitely please young and old alike!

Summer cocooning

It's been raining for several days and the children have gone through all the board games twice, in addition to raiding the craft materials? Rather than directing them towards the screen, offer them our list of original activities perfect for rainy days !

Tasks to delegate to teenagers

Your teens are home all summer and you're worried about them going around in circles or spending their entire days on a screen? Discover our list of perfect tasks to delegate to them during the summer , in a way that not only keeps them busy, but also develops their autonomy and encourages them to participate fully in family life.

Easy to make recipes and snacks

Because meals come back quickly when everyone is at home, we invite you to include your children in the preparation of dinners and snacks thanks to our selection of easy-to-make lunch recipes and snacks that require no cooking .

Free or inexpensive outings

With the current economic situation, it is not always possible to take a long vacation or even to go on a trip outside with the children. We therefore offer you a complete list of free or inexpensive activities that will certainly please the whole family ! And, for your possible outings to the beach, find in our guide the list of essentials not to forget !

In addition to all that, you will also find in our summer guide practical tips to reduce and manage the inevitable arguments between children, suggestions for quick dinners to make (to take full advantage of hot summer days!), and more!
