Have fun with ease

What could be more motivating than a great challenge this summer, especially with warm weather and sunny skies! Because we want you to enjoy summer to the fullest, we’ve put together this bucket list that is sure to please the entire family! Ready, set, go!

Activities to ditch the routine

Create one-of-a-kind and funky artworks 
All you have to do is blend paint and water, add the mixture to a water gun, and let your imagination run wild! You’ll probably want to start a paint fight within seconds. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Enjoy watching a movie in your backyard!
The hardest thing you’ll have to do this summer is choosing the movie that EVERYONE will want to watch! We have to admit, we love classics! All you need is a projector and a white screen (think: a white bed sheet)! For extra comfort, choose cushions; throw blankets, candles and anything else that will keep you comfy. Keep in mind, however, the cozier you are, the more likely you are to fall asleep!


Cushions and throw blankets: The Hudson Bay
Candles: Clair de lune 
Projector: La Source

Family DIY projects

Organize a lemonade or iced tea sale 
There’s nothing more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade or iced tea during a heat wave. What’s, more: it’s a great way to teach your kids some entrepreneurial skills! To make the best iced tea possible, check out DAVIDs TEA. The possibilities are endless! To spruce up your kid’s stand, all you need is a few accessories and beverage dispensers. And you’re done!

Delicious and refreshing summer snacks
