This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Maytag. All opinions are 100% mine. Kids play hard, and they get filthy, and my sons are no exception. The two little soccer players in this house give me (and our washing machine) quite a challenge when it’s time to wash their uniforms. Maytag […]

    We actually did a lot of things on your list – even the puppets, though ours were from paper bags and not socks.

  • Jamie

    What a fun promotion!! Living in the mountains of AZ during the monsoon season, and being fans of offroading makes us be a part of #myfilthiestplay often! 🙂

  • Catherine S

    These all sound like great ideas. My husband and son love to have building contest with Legos. I love the idea of them doing the dishes.

  • Those are some great summer ideas. My kids used to take frisbees and prepare “salads” from wild plants and rocks etc.

  • Vanessa

    What a great promotion and thanks for sharing the free printable. It’s so sad summer is almost over so we probably won’t finish everything on the list.

  • Kelly Hutchinson

    I think running through a sprinkler is fun, no matter what your age! I have yet to go fishing this summer.

  • Debbie Denny

    That is a cool contest. I like your list also.

  • Valerie

    Any mom of boys can tell you that filthy play is pretty common for little guys. We have enjoyed many of the things on your list!

    I have never had a brat before. They sound good, though, so i will have to pick some up 🙂

  • Stacie

    I can’t think of a better way to say Happy Bratsgiving than with these kebabs. They look delicious!

  • Beth

    I didn’t know about Bratsgiving. I am going to make a special dinner to celebrate.

  • Catherine S

    This looks and sounds yummy. I will have to pick up some Brats to cook on Batsgiving.

  • Boy would this ever be a hit with the boyfriend and my son! They’re huge brats fans, and I love the combo with veggies!

  • Christie

    My son is really into Avengers right now! That Avengers outfit would be perfect for 1st grade!
