In the days where technology has basically taken over, we often forget how important it is to spend quality time with our kids. We only get 18 years with them before they’re adults and it’s important to make the most of that time. The key to successful child/parent bonding activities in our home? Plenty of snacks… especially Snyder’s of Hanover® Pretzels and Cape Cod® Chips because those are their favorites!
Shopping
I get my quality time in with our teenager, Lucia, every time I ask her to go shopping with me. One of her favorite stores is Walmart. She loves to visit every aisle and look for deals, especially in the snack aisle. She’s definitely my girl! Starting May 20th, Walmart shoppers can buy $15 worth of participating Cape Cod®, Kettle®, Late July®, Snack Factory®, and Snyder’s of Hanover® products between May 20, 2019 – June 30, 2019 in one transaction and get a $5 Walmart eGift Card. Lucia especially loves those deals because I allow her to redeem that $5 card on something she wants (and at Walmart, there are so many options at or near that price point).
Backyard Camping
With our Snyder’s Lance snacks in hand, it’s Super Dad’s turn for a little one-on-one time. Recently, he pitched a tent in our backyard for a camp out! I loved seeing how much they can learn about each other when there are no screens involved. And although they often disagree, as teenage girls and Dads do, they have so much in common. Snacks, for one.
Find Fun Activities
You’d be surprised just how much fun you can have in your own backyard when you think outside the box. Super Dad and Lucia can always find ways to have fun together. Whether its wheelbarrow races, the seesaw that is clearly too small for them, making s’mores by the fire pit, or talking about life in the treehouse, they are able to have fun together with the most simple of tools. These childhood memories will be something that Lucia will always remember. And that, for us, is the key to a successful bonding moment.
Got Snacks?
When you’re planning your next bonding experience, make sure you’ve stocked up on their favorite snacks. In fact, you may want to head to Walmart now, buy $15 worth of participating Cape Cod®, Kettle®, Late July®, Snack Factory®, and Snyder’s of Hanover® products between May 20, 2019 – June 30, 2019 in one transaction, and get that $5 Walmart eGift Card. Snap a picture of your receipt, ensuring all the items are in view, and email the photo to snackon@uploadreceipt.com by July 13. Once your purchase have been validated, you will receive a code. You can redeem that code at summersnacking.com by July 27 to receive a $5 Walmart eGift Card. You can use it in-store or online for something to make your day even more fun!

Hello There!
Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.
Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!
These sound like some wonderful ways to spend time with your kids and bond with them. It is afterall such an important thing to make sure you put away some time to do.
They look like they had so much fun! That’s so great! It’s the little things and the time spent that matters.
What fun ways to reconnect and bond with your kids. Sharing delicious snacks also creates great memories that they will likely pass down to their kids too.
These are all great ideas to bond with your kids. Although, I don’t really think you have to go out of your way to bond with your children during times like shopping and eating these are the times that you naturally going to bond.
I love this list of ways to spend time with kids! The backyard camping idea sounds like so much fun.
Grocery shopping in particular for me was fun when I was younger and doing it with the whole family. I like it when my parents would let me push the cart myself.
Backyard camping was one of my favorite activities as a child, I always try to re-create that with my nieces and nephew’s.
