Creating magical summer memories with kids

Step into the sunny world of summer adventures, where the joy of keeping our little ones entertained and creating everlasting memories with them takes center stage! Gather your family, put on your creative hats, and get ready to make this summer one for the books.

Picnic in Your Back Garden

Spend a beautiful summer day basking in the gentle warmth of sunshine, nestled on a cozy picnic blanket, eating delicious snacks, and cherishing the company of your little ones by organizing a picnic in the comfort of your backyard. All you need is a few blankets, toys to keep your kids entertained between snacking, some delicious drinks, and tasty snacks. And if you’d like to sprinkle an extra bit of magic into your picnic, let our OptiBake oven prepare your food automatically, while you’re making all your picnic preparations.

Get Lost on Purpose

For this activity, forget maps or set destinations – intentionally getting lost is now the name of the game! To begin your adventure, choose a scenic trail, forest, or even a charming park you’ve never visited before. Wander freely and at every crossroad take turns deciding which path to take – this way, everyone gets a say on how the adventure unravels, and unfamiliar sights, sounds, and scents are guaranteed.

No adventure is complete without delicious snacks, though, so don’t forget to pack some to keep you energized along the way. One fantastic idea you can do the night before is to slice up an assortment of juicy fruits like watermelon, pineapple, and berries for a delightful fruit salad or assemble fruity skewers. Pop your harmony of fruit snacks into your fridge’s FreshZone drawer to ensure they stay crisp and flavorsome until your departure, then pack them into your backpack right as you’re about to depart on your adventure.

Cosy movie night

Let’s be honest – sometimes you simply run out of the time or energy to plan a grand adventure for your kids, but you still want to do something fun. And there are very few things better than sitting down at the end of a long day, getting out your tastiest snacks, grabbing your comfiest blanket, and spending time with your loved ones.

For this super cosy staycation to begin, simply grab a bunch of blankets and pillows, let someone in your family choose a movie, and set out your family’s favourite snacks such as popcorn, ice cream, chips, or fruit. And if you want to make the experience even more magical, use your induction hob’s SoftMelt feature to quickly melt some chocolate and dip strawberries into it for sweet snacking during the movie – this is also a great idea if you’d like to bring some romance into your staycation.

Make delicious watermelon popsicles

When the temperature soars, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as an icy popsicle – especially, if you make them yourself using fresh ingredients. And because these popsicles are incredibly easy to make, they’re the perfect activity for bonding with your children, while helping them develop motor skills and keeping them endlessly entertained.

Simply cut the watermelon into small pieces, put them in a blender with some sugar and lime juice, and pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Add some popsicle sticks to finish your creation, then freeze them in your Gorenje freezer. After a few hours, enjoy the icy goodness together with your children for maximum summer fun!

As the warm days of summer slowly turn into autumn, make the most of the remaining summertime and create unforgettable, magical memories with your loved ones. And with our appliances by your side, your possibilities for fun activities are truly endless!
