7 Fun Paw Patrol Activities That Are Perfect for Summer!

We are super excited to have extra free time now that Summer is here.  However, I still decided to plan a few “special” days a month where we focus on a theme and have planned activities, snacks, and crafts to keep things interesting. 

Since we have a couple of big Paw Patrol fans in our family, I decided that our first fun day would focus around these Rescue Heroes. Check out all of the fun Paw Patrol activities my family enjoyed!

Paw Patrol Story Time

First off, we started by introducing the surprise theme of the day.  I dug out a couple of our beloved Paw Patrol books and we had a mini storytime session.

If you don’t own any Paw Patrol books, check to see if your local library has some. They should!

Paw Patrol Origami Craft Time

Then, we moved on to a craft – Paw Patrol Origami!  Origami has always fascinated me and this easy-to-make pup was the perfect thing that even younger kids can manage with a little help. 

After a few simple folds, kids can decorate their Origami Pup any way they’d like.  Of course, we went for the likenesses of: Chase, Rubble, Marshall, Zuma, Rocky, and Skye.

Paw Patrol Relay Race

Our kids needed an activity to burn off energy next, so we headed outside to do a relay-style race.  The kids were put into “dog teams” of two and our “fetch” items were balls and bean bags. 

The object of the game was to race one of their objects to their partner, jump into the hula hoop with them, and then give a high five.  That signaled their partner to then grab one of their objects and take off back to the first hula hoop. 

The first team to get both of their balls and bean bags safely into their partner’s hoops and holler “Paw Patrol” won!

Pup Joke Time!

Everyone loves a good joke so after all that running, I shared a few fun dog jokes with the kids.

Q: What kind of dog keeps the best time?
A:  Watch Dog!

Q:  Where does a jungle pup get his flowers?
A:  From a rain-florist.

Q:  How do construction worker pups celebrate?
A:  They raise the roof!

Q:  What do you call young dogs who like to play in the snow?
A:  Slush puppies.

Letter D for Dog Craft

After joke time, we headed back into the house for one more craft.  Since the word dog begins with the letter D, we created a D-shaped dog. 

Prep consisted of me cutting out large D letters.  The kids then glued them on their construction paper and added a collar, tag, and ears. 

Finally, I told the kids to add an eye and any other characteristics, such as spots, that they wanted their dog to have.

Pup-peroni Pizza

Since everyone was getting hungry, I thought that “PUP-peroni” Pizza would be the perfect lunchtime meal. This easy homemade pizza dough recipe is a favorite at our house.

Step2 Paw Patrol Water Table

By this time, the sun was shining bright and we were hitting the mid-70s so it was time to cool down.  The kids began jumping for joy when they caught sight of our new Step2 Paw Patrol Water Table. 

Thankfully, assembly was simple, the directions were clear, and we were ready for some water play in under 10 minutes.

This Step2 Paw Patrol Water Table was a huge hit with all five of our kids!  My two-year-old daughter especially loved sending the pups racing out of the lookout tower, and down through the water slide.

I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a water table and/or Paw Patrol toys for your kids!

If the weather isn’t warm enough for water play (or it’s raining outside) dont’ forget that there are lots of fun ways to use a water table indoors too!

Do you have any other fun Paw Patrol activities I should add to this list?
