The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it’s time to look for some fun summer activities for kids!
We have put together some free summer printables for you to enjoy with the little ones, and help keep them entertained during these long hot days of summer.
Our Free Printable I Spy pages are a great way to keep little brains active over the summer break, and are fun for kids to complete, giving them a great sense of satisfaction when they find and count all of the items.
We have put together two different versions of these summer I-spy pages, both with fun summer theme pictures, so kids can go on a picture hunt for summer pictures that will instantly get them in a sunshine mood!
I spy with my little eye… something that looks like summer fun!
Summer I Spy Printable Pages
Print out these pages for the kids as a simple activity to grab when you need something to keep everyone occupied, or looking for some learning with a summer theme.
Why not laminate or use a wipe clean plastic pocket (we love these ones from Learning Resources – affiliate link) and dry wipe markers for long lasting play, so the kids can pull these out again and again?
Alternatively, you can hand the children these paper sheets straight from the printer and let them complete with a pencil, crayons or markers.
Searching for pictures on an I-spy page is a great way to help kiddos develop their visual skills, as well as practicing counting.
These printable pages are great for younger kids, even toddlers will enjoy finding the pictures on these these summer I-spy pages and they are perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners to work on their counting skills in a fun and playful way.
Because the I-spy sheets make the activity into a game, it’s much easier to incorporate into your busy summer days compared to a sit down writing worksheet (which, some kids absolutely love whereas others hardcore resist those!)
Printable I-Spy pages are an awesome screen free activity for kids.

The first summer ispy page has the following fun summer pictures to find
