Summer is made for simple pleasures: running barefoot through the grass, family game nights on the patio, bike rides around the neighborhood and long days spent exploring. Whether you’re planning beach trips, backyard adventures or educational activities to prevent summer learning loss, our Summer Fun Guide is packed with products designed to help families make the most of the season.
Every item featured has been tested and evaluated by the NAPPA Awards team, giving parents trusted recommendations for fun, learning and adventure.
Savor the longer days, warm nights, friends, family, laughter, picnics and the beach. To add to the summer fun and make your backyard the place to be for all the kids, how about a Monster Jam truck with 360° donut water spraying power, candy-scented hoops and balls or a bow launcher?
Invite the neighbors for an outdoor art show with giant spirographs to turn your sidewalk into a dazzling spiral canvas. Or test your skills with a Giant Color Stack Challenge, Cone Toss or Tower Stack. Summer wouldn’t be the same without long bike rides and some gardening. Check out all the fun here.
