Seven Budget-Friendly Amazon Finds for Summer Family Fun
As summer kicks off, it’s a great time to think about fun family activities. Kids can have a blast at camps and on trips, but there are plenty of ways to create memorable moments right at home. Your garden or local area offers a fantastic and cost-effective way to enjoy the summer.
I’ve been looking at affordable ideas on Amazon to keep the family entertained this summer. Here are my top seven picks for budget-friendly and fun summer activities:
1. Toddlers’ Splash Pad: If you have little ones, consider getting an inflatable splash pad. It’s 67” long and can keep kids entertained for hours in the backyard for just $20. You can tweak the water hose pressure to adjust the spray height. Pair it with homemade ice pops for a day full of water fun at home.
2. Inflatable Pool: In 2020, inflatable pools were a huge hit due to pandemic restrictions. While local pools and waterparks are open again in 2021, frequent visits can get pricey. For around $60, you can set up an inflatable pool at home, bringing the waterpark experience to your backyard.
3. Foam Blaster Water Guns: A water gun fight is a classic and affordable way for family fun. You can get a pack of 6 Foam Blaster Water Guns on Amazon for under $10. They may be small, but they can spray water up to 30 feet!
4. Cornhole Game: Cornhole is perfect for BBQs and parties. On Amazon, you can find a collapsible and easy-to-set-up cornhole game set for just $24. If you want something sturdier, there’s also a PVC piped version for $32.
5. Badminton Racket: We got a badminton set last summer, and it was a hit with everyone. For $30, you get four rackets, two shuttles, and a net. It’s a fun and easy game for all ages.
6. ‘Go Find It’ Scavenger Hunt Game: This game is perfect for adventure anywhere—be it in your backyard, a park, or on a hiking trail. It’s also great for breaking the monotony during road trips.
7. Movie Projector and Screen: Throw your own outdoor movie nights with a budget-friendly outdoor movie projector. It has WiFi capabilities, works with smartphones, and has an average of 4.5 stars from over 2,000 reviews for its ease of use and device compatibility.
So, summer doesn’t have to be about pricey trips and expenses. If you’re watching your budget this year, enjoy quality time with your family through simple yet enjoyable activities. These economical options can help you build delightful summer memories with your loved ones.
