Summer Activities & Essentials for Making the Most of the Season with Your Little Ones
There’s something magical about summer with little ones.
The extra sunshine. The longer days. The giggles during water play. The slower, sweeter moments we tuck into our memories and come back to again and again.
Of course, it’s not always picture-perfect—but in between the snack requests and messy playtimes, summer gives us the chance to pause, play, and just be present with our babies.
We’ve gathered a few favorite summer activities, plus must-have organic essentials that help you take care of your family’s skin with the same love and intention you give everything else.
Simple Summer Activities (That Fill Their Cup & Yours)
Whether you’re planning an outdoor adventure or just making the most of your backyard, these activities are low-fuss and full of connection:
1. Water Play in the Backyard
Fill up a small tub or baby pool, toss in some cups and spoons, and you’ve got instant entertainment. It’s sensory play, cooling relief, and fun rolled into one.
2. Morning Nature Walks
There’s nothing like the early morning sun while you push the stroller or walk hand-in-hand with your little ones. Look for birds, point out colors, or collect leaves. Keep it slow and playful. plus it’s a great way to get that vitamin D early in the day.
3. Picnic on the Porch (or Living Room)
A picnic doesn’t have to mean packing up and driving to the park. Spread out a blanket, make a simple lunch (think fruit, cheese, and crackers), and eat outside—or by a sunny window if it’s too hot. Bonus points if you add a little playlist, bubbles or some fun toys your kids can play with outdoors!
4. Sidewalk Art + Bubble Station
Set up a creative corner with sidewalk chalk and bubbles. Let them doodle, stomp in the bubbles, and make up their own games. These little moments often become their favorite ones.
5. Nature Treasure Hunt
Give your little one a "treasure list" (ex: an orange leaf, a feather, something yellow) and go on a mini scavenger hunt around your yard or neighborhood. They’ll be having the time of their lives trying to collect their finds, and you get a chance to enjoy nature through their eyes.
Summer Essentials for Mama & Baby
Summer adventures are fun—but they also come with sun exposure, bug bites, and the occasional rash. We’ve made each product to be multi-use, nourishing, and completely safe for baby’s delicate skin—and yours too.
Yes, it’s a diaper balm—but trust us, this one does it all.
Infused with calming zinc oxide and healing organic oils, it works wonders on:
- Diaper rash (of course)
- Bug bites
- Mild sunburn
- Dry, irritated skin
- Tiny scrapes or red patches after too much fun outside
It’s our go-to for soothing skin and creating a natural barrier, without any harsh ingredients. Keep one in the diaper bag—you’ll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
After a long day outside or a post-bath cuddle session, a little oatmeal bath goes a long way. Ours is made with colloidal oatmeal perfect for soothing irritated skin while keeping it soft and nourished at the same time. It’s fragrance-free, toxin-free, and full of love—perfect for nightly wind-downs after sun-soaked days.
This season doesn’t have to be about elaborate plans or Pinterest-perfect days.
Some of the best summer memories are the simplest ones: sitting on the grass watching the clouds, letting your baby splash in a bowl of water, or sharing a slice of cold fruit together on a warm afternoon.
You're doing a beautiful job—whether your days are filled with adventures or cozy moments at home.
