Super Fun Summer Craft Ideas for Kids

Share with a friend!

Summer time for our family usually means Summer camp during the week and little adventures on the weekend. This year we decided against sending the girls to Summer camp, so we had to come up with things for them to do each day. While they would spend everyday in the pool, if they could, we live in FL, so Summer also means lots of rain. On the days when they’re stuck indoors, I wanted to find easy, inexpensive and fun craft ideas for them. So, after some Pinterest surfing, I was able to find 10 super fun Summer craft ideas.
