Family Time: Fun Activities & Easy Snack Ideas

“In partnership with Kettle Brand®.”

Is it strange to say that this has been the longest fast year ever? It feels like we just started summer yesterday and now it’s already August. While we didn’t anticipate spending our summer at home, it’s been such a blessing in disguise. In fact, the girls learned so many things these past few months. They learned new soccer moves, how to ride bikes like a pro, mastered new flips on the gymnastic bars, became professional bakers as well as my personal car wash service, and even began getting the hang of packing their own lunches thanks to yummy snacks like these Kettle Brand® Potato Chips I purchased at Walmart. Guess time flies when you’re having fun!

With all these fun activities we’ve been doing at home, making sure our pantry is stocked with plenty of snack options is a must. From savory bites to sweet treats, we love them all. However, our family has a slight obsession with potato chips, especially Kettle Brand® Chips. Not joking. This brand has been a longtime favorite in our house and for good reason. They have a signature crunch about them that’s seriously addicting and the unique flavors are so good. That’s because they’re inspired by real-food trends and ingredients. We also love that every Kettle Brand® Chip is Non-GMO Verified and Certified Gluten Free. Grab this coupon to receive $1 off two 8.5 oz bags through Ibotta now!

Family game nights are one of our favorite past times, but if I’m being honest, I think the kiddos enjoy it mostly for the snacks! I don’t blame them. In fact, it’s usually during these moments that bring out some of the best conversations and laughs from my girls. For game nights and movie time, sweet and salty snack boards are my go to option. They only take a few minutes to set up and allow everyone to pick and choose what they’re in the mood for. For this board, I included fresh veggies, cheese, fruit, dip, and our favorite Kettle® Brand Chips. I enjoy dipping their Sea Salt flavor with hummus while my husband and Marli can’t get enough of the Kettle Brand® Jalepeno chips. Matea enjoys the Kettle Brand® Sea Salt & Vinegar chips, both of which deliver some serious flavor in every bite.

If you’re looking for more fun things to do with the family at home, here are 10 fun ideas:

Learn a new sports move
Go for a bike ride
Create an obstacle course in your home or backyard (my girls LOVE playing Floor is Lava!)
Go on a scavenger hunt
Play games like Hide and Seek, Simon Says, and Twister
Chalk art in the driveway
Create a backyard water park (slip n’ slide, pool, sprinkler)
Wash the car
Have movie night in the backyard
Do science experiments (slime, lava lamps, volcanos, homemade playdoh)

And, with school starting back up again soon, I’ve been teaching my girls to pack their own lunch. You can imagine how creative things got. Last week, Matea filled her entire box with chips and a couple slices of fruit. Ha! It took a few tries and some guidance from me, but I think she’s getting the hang of it now. For this lunch, she included a sandwich, cherry tomatoes, yogurt + granola, and a handful of the Kettle Brand® Sea Salt & Vinegar chips. Such a pro! Before you know it, I bet she’ll be packing my husband’s lunch.

I’m due for another Walmart run this week and will definitely stock up on more Kettle Brand® Chips during my shopping. Do you have a favorite flavor? Check them ALL out HERE and take advantage of their $1 off two 8.5 oz bags through Ibotta..
