Summer kids activities (Printables) & ideas Online

[desertrat4evr]

The computer is full of kids printables if you have a printer. Just 'google' free kids printables and find something for your age group. Here's some that I've used in past years. I really like the 'Veggie Tales' stuff. There are many other pages to see also. Check out the left hand column.

Another idea is making a 'Jesse Tree' Ornaments and then you'll have them ready for use during December for the Christmas holiday.

When I made our Jesse trees I just went outside and found the 'right' branch from one of our trees or mesquite bushes.....A picture on a wall could work or even a small artificial christmas tree. Use whatever is handy or most economical.
