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.
I love these ideas. What a great crafts for pets, the beach, and bugs.
We do lots of draw yourself kinds of things - find or draw something that starts with the letter _____. It can get very entertaining.
My kids love making and playing board games when it is too hot to go outside or if it is too rainy. Curling up in blankets if they are cold and reading or being read too is also always a favorite in our house.
We've done these. A tree with hands, a tree with hands and finger prints as ornaments for Christmas. Cute!
How's your kid's first day/week of daycare or preschool? Please share! :)
