Some days the best way to beat the heat is to stay indoors! Today's activities are summer themed hand and footprint crafts that can be keepsakes for years to come!

Materials Needed:  

    Paper or Canvas
    Paint, Markers, or Crayons
    Misc Supplies (wiggle eyes, sea glass, pipe cleaners, sequins, etc)

                      Hands and foot lobster                                         Butterfly feet               

          

Handprint Fish

 



How do you keep your kids entertained when it's too hot or rainy to go outside? What crafts have you done this summer?

If you missed yesterday's activity, you can find it here. If you haven't signed up for the Beat the Heat Challenge yet, you can do so here.

This is perfect for the boys to make tomorrow while I help mom make Marshmallow Babies for a baby shower....it will help them feel like they're doing what we're doing.

I'll just have to wash my hands 50 million times while I go inbetween helping them and making babies, lol....or my dad can help them.
