School\u2019s out, the sun is high in the sky! It should be a crime for any kid to plop down in front of the TV for the next three months. Instead, take this opportunity to introduce them to some golden oldie traditions while enjoying time outdoors together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOutdoor Theater
\n<\/strong>Create a drive-in movie theater atmosphere by creating an outdoor theater in your own backyard.\u00a0 It\u2019s as easy as hanging a large white sheet from a rope that you\u2019ve strung between two trees. Or using the side of your garage as the screen.\u00a0 Show some of your kid\u2019s favorites by casting the video onto your screen using a projector like the 3000 Lumens Full HD Resolution Optoma DLP Home Theater Projector w\/ Mount Bundle<\/a>. Set out some comfy pillows, Pop some popcorn to serve with the Waring Pro Popcorn Maker with Melting Station<\/a> and you\u2019re all set!<\/p>\n


\nHomemade Ice-Cream
\n<\/strong>After the movie, instead of heading out to the local ice-cream shop and spending a ton on a few scoops, show the kids how to make it the old-fashioned way.\u00a0 Let them choose the flavors and even help use the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker<\/a> from Buydig.com.\u00a0 The kids will be amazed at how much better it tastes when they make it themselves!<\/p>\n

Old School Toy
\n<\/strong>Coax the kiddos off of the couch and outside into the sunshine with the Razor E100 Power Core Electric Scooter<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s old fashioned enough for them to get the idea of the relic, but updated enough to keep them interested.\u00a0 Offering up to 60 minutes of continuous use, it will keep them outside for a while.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/a>Cooking Outdoors
\n<\/strong>Enjoy time with the kids roasting marshmallows and hotdogs, and telling scary stories around the Blue Rhino Wood Burning Firebowl<\/a>. Tell them stories about the wild west. Also, how this was the only way to cook or stay warm on a starry night.<\/p>\n

Old School Fitness
\n<\/strong>Teach your kids a few of your best jump rope tricks from the day with the Valeo JRB Beaded Jump Rope<\/a> from Buydig.com.\u00a0 Make sure you teach them a few of your favorite chants to go with them. For example, \u201cCinderella Dressed in Yella\u201d will really make it interesting!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These tips will help avoid the \u201cI\u2019m bored\u201d comment you normally here after the first week of summer break while instilling an appreciation for the way it was \u201cway back when\u201d.<\/p>\n
