Superhero Week! Crafts, Activities, and Learning Activities

Here’s everything you need for an awesome superhero week! Plan crafts, learning activities, games, books, and more, all centered around a superhero theme. Some of these activities use Marvel and DC characters, while others just involve generic superheroes.

As I’m writing this post, parents and kids around the world are gearing up for a different type of summer. Many of the usual camps and activities won’t be taking place this summer because of public health. The kids and I have been working to create activities based around various themes. We want to make it easy for you to put together a fun summer!

An added benefit is that some of these activities will help give parents a break while the kids are busy.

Make it a SUPERHERO WEEK!

The activities in this post can be done on their own, or choose a few to do for a superhero themed week. Print some coloring pages, plan a few crafts and play ideas, and then add some superhero movies and story books from the library and you’ll be all set!

Superhero Crafts

Make your favorite character, or design your own superhero. Crafting with superheroes is lots of fun!
