Hey Ladies,

This is the first summer in a couple of years that my kiddos will be home with me all summer, since I usually work and they go to daycare in the summer. But, this summer I am at home with them and could use some inexpensive ideas to beat the summer heat indoors. If anyone has any cool and fun ideas please share. I have 3 girls, ages 11, 9, and 4. I need some inspiration!!!!! 

Thanks,

Jackie

Take inexpensive sponges gut them in 4 strips lay 4 on top of 4 so 8 total tie and then fluff you have water bombs. Let them dip in water and throw at each other . Cheap easy and no one get hurt and no water balloon cleanup

Take wax pape and shave crayons in between 2 pieces of wax paper. Then take a iron and melt. You can punch a hole in top hang in window sun catcher.

Take cookie sheets with edges and put shaving cream or pudding in them and let them paint

Take 2 liters fill them with colored water. Line them up and let them bowl. Backyard ball will work

we do a lot of arts and crafts. My kids are younger than yours though, 4&3. We also bake and cook a lot.
