The Incredible Index for Boy Fun Activities

Do you find yourself in a household surrounded by boys? Do you struggle to find engaging activities to hold their interests? With summer fast approaching and events being canceled I’ve decided to revive this incredible list of boy fun activities. It’s full of ideas for boys of all ages. There are many great ways for dads to bond with his boys. And, this list includes ideas for both inside and outside activities.

Boys are different. At least to me they are. I grew up in a house with two sisters and one brother. I never understood him. And, I still don’t. Then, I got married and came to realize that boys are just different than girls. Their, likes, attitudes, and their way of going about things are just different. 

Now that I’m a mom to a boy and it has just reaffirmed what I have believed all along. Boys are different. Not bad. Just different. 

I happen to like, quite a lot, both of the males that God has placed in my life. While I am still a girl and like girly things, I have chosen to embrace my role as mom to a boy. That’s why today I’m sharing fun boy resources, ideas, tips, and printables from around the web that can keep just about any boy entertained.

So find something fun to do with your boy/s and take a moment to embrace the joy of being a boy mama!
