My kiddos love getting crafty. Michaels has tons of cheap kid crafts that are sure to keep them busy! I also gave my older daughter free run of the felt supplies, so she's had some fun cutting & sewing with felt. And we always love going to the park!

Summer is a wonderful time to teach your children to sew....try pj pants or a simple gathered skirt. Even a 4 year old can learn to sew buttons on a piece of fabric for a fun pillow top!
