We’re always looking for fun activities to get us outside during the summer. My goal is to keep them and the mess outside as long as possible. With the days getting warmer, I’ve been on the hunt for new things to occupy the time, so I thought I would share a few that we found that have been fun!
Try one of these 5 backyard DIY activities when the kids come to you asking for something to do.
5 DIY Backyard Activities
Shoot & Splash Target Practice
If your kids end up using water guns to shoot each other and that leads to conflict, use this idea to set up a shooting range so they can practice their skills on inanimate objects!
10 Backyard Balancing Activities
Have fun outside and encourage gross motor development with these easy DIY balancing activities kids can do outside!
Scented Rainbow Science & Sensory Project
This requires a bit of prep in advance, but the ingredients are cheap and this will lead to lots of fun experimenting outside where the mess doesn’t matter!

Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons in their inserts?
This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers… we all want the great coupons but sometimes only a few select areas get them. Each week volunteers send in insert variation lists to show exactly what coupons were in their papers. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at the coupon insert variations for 04/18, below.
Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If your paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!
As volunteers send me their lists I will continue to update this list.
A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value, or a new coupon not in the preview.
