Lately, our days have had a bit of a rhythm: we soak up the cooler mornings outside, then spend the rest of the day hiding from the heat any way we can. And honestly? It’s been kind of perfect.
We've fallen into a summer groove filled with coloring books, puzzles, board games, and audiobooks—quiet moments like this are what we live for!
The kids and I have especially been obsessed with a few new coloring books, and I had to share our favorites in case you're looking for something fun (and screen-free!) to keep little hands busy during these long, hot afternoons.
I have had so much fun playing with this one! I really enjoyed learning how to do all the different textures and patterns.
This is the coziest take on every day moments and I am so here for it!
This is my oldest's favorite so far! Largely because of all the cherry blossoms.
Our youngest had to have the one with the "silly goose" and has loved it!
These are the markers we have been loving!
If your crew is anything like ours and finds those super detailed, teeny-tiny coloring pages more stressful than soothing, these cozy coloring books might be just what you need!
They're fun, calming, and perfect for quiet afternoons when it’s too hot to do much else. Whether you’re coloring alongside your kids or just enjoying the peaceful vibes, these picks have definitely earned a spot in our summer survival kit. Let me know your favorites! We’re always looking for our next favorite!
