Some of the cool things we got from Target include: crafting materials, sports equipment, and items to set-up a lemonade stand on the corner. My daughter loves to be creative, so she used some colorful Duct tape to create a purse for her and a sword for her brother. She also loved the “create-your-own” board book kit! She made a summertime book about going to the beach for her brother to try and read. I love how creative she is and how she is using her mind to keep up her educational skills during the summer. It’s great when kids are still learning and having fun at the same time.
My son loves playing with the sports equipment from Target. He’s been practicing his golf skills and badminton in the front yard and having a blast! He loves to be outside during the summer.
My daughter’s favorite thing so far has been her lemonade stand she set up on our corner during our yard sale last weekend. She planned it out, created her signs, made the lemonade, and used her math skills while giving change to people. I loved that she was so confident and spoke with whoever came along. She earned almost $20 and sold all her lemonade! We went to Target afterwards and she bought a stuffed animal with some the money she earned and she saved the rest. It’s great how she is learning to become responsible and managing her money. She also does chores and we use the Tykoon online resource to organize her schedule.
Next week we are going to the beach again, and we will be taking our badminton set to play with. So whatever your needs are, toys for the yard or the beach, you can find them at your nearest Target store.
Don’t forget to check out Target on Facebook, as well as the “Summer-izer” link on there to add “Big Honkin’ Summer” icons to your photos to share online or print out at your local
Target store.
You can also check out the Target Kids’ Catalog to see all the fun and affordable items to get for your kids this summer! Have a great time with your kids this summer! Every moment counts! They grow up super fast, so make all the time with your kids count. Get outside and play with them!
Looks like you guys are having a great summer so far! 🙂

Love the lemonade stand, too!!! Target is definitely my favorite place to shop! Enjoy your summer!!!
That book is too cute!! What a creativity! I’m betting that one will be tucked away and saved for when she’s grown. 🙂
Fun summer toys! I think my girls would love to set up a lemonade stand also. They’d be able to let their imagination come to life instead of just pretending, like when they serve tea at our tea parties. lol
We got this great kit too – I am SOOOO excited to get a sunny day finally to have some fun with it all 🙂
Looks like you all are having tons of fun!

The lemonade stand was a really great idea! Kids love the attention of the customers at their stand and it’s a wonderful way to teach them about money 🙂

🙂 My kids and I love Target. We go in for one thing and always find great deals and things we want. Wish my little girl was old enough for a lemonade stand.
The lemonade stand is fabulous! I remember doing that when I was little. My friends and I had so much fun. I can’t wait until my little girl is old enough to try it herself!
It all looks like fun especially the lemonade stand, how cute. Love Target!!
Yum I so want some lemonade too!!! 😉
Your kids look like they are having a blast! Anyone who goes in to target will always find what they are going in for, and so much more. The puppy isle is always where i find the most
It is so much fun for kids to make things themselves that they can actually use!
as a retired mail carrier, I love the lemonade stand!

The lemonade stand is iconic summer fun at it’s best. Thinking of doing one at our upcoming garage sale with my 5 year old with special needs.
Woa!Looks like you have an awesome summer! I also love your lemonade stand 🙂

I like the lemonade container.
Those where some fun activities. My daughter is 4 but she wants to do a lemonade stand. To teach her that you earn money by working and about responsabilities.
I love Target, my very favorite store. The activities look fun, especially the lemonade stand. Love Targets $1 section so many cute little things for so cheap!
Awesome! I love it how I can take my 3 year old and 22 month old to target’s dollar bins and we will come out with some project for them to do!
I remember having several lemonade stands when I was younger; it’s one of those things that is like a must when you’re a kid! I’m extremely impressed with your daughter and her entrepreneurial spirit 🙂 And it looks like she did it in style, too!
Target does have some pretty neat and stylish things for the Summer 🙂
Love projects for summer. Beautiful photos. We play a lot of badmiton too
That’s fantastic! I’m so glad your kids got to have that lemonade stand experience. It’s truly a childhood highlight. 🙂
Oh do I remember the days of my daughters lemonade stand, now 30 yrs ago but what fun we had setting it up and the taste it gave. Now its my grandson and I creating summer fun ideas. sewitupjulie@gmail.com
Love the lemonade stand idea. Think I’ll try it with my granddaughters when we have our garage sale in a couple of weeks. It’ll be a good experience for them and help keep them out of my hair.
Reminds me of what I used to do as a kid! Looks like a great time!
I’d love some of that lemonade right now!
I love the lemonade stand. That’s cute!

awesome summer fun for the kids… great !! =)
Your kids are precious. Love the lemonade stand too. Brings back memories from our stand over 40 years ago. ALWAYS a fn thing for kids
I LOVE Target and I love all these ideas! Thank you for sharing some great ways to entertain my kiddos this summer. 🙂 I especially love that beach photo of your kids. It’s sure worth getting a canvas print of that! 🙂
I had a lemonade stand when I was a kid. It teaches great skills.
great ideas looks like fun!!
I love all of that cute Target stuff. I always go there to buy exactly the kind of things that you are talking about in this post (I have that lemonade thing!) Target just has a little style and I like that. Just because things are plastic doesn’t mean that they have to be ugly junk.
I love lemonade stands!! So cute!
I like the lemonade stand. It is so lovely. Also, it seems like they was having fun with the activities.
