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.

I really like the paper sunflowers! We have lots of these growing here in KS.
Those butterflies are so beautiful, I am sure my daughter would love to make them with me 😀
What adorable summer crafts for the kiddos! I especially love the flamingos, butterflies and llamas. Just too cute!
I have a lot of extra coffee filters at home. Maybe my niece and my nephews can do the Classic Coffee Filter Butterflies. It looks so cute!
Those are some adorable crafts! My daughters and I love doing crafts together, especially if we’re stuck inside due to rainy weather.
These are great ideas! My daughter is the crafter in the family, so she’ll have fun with these. She’ll be happy to see this instead of me just going, “Well read a book,” when she says she’s bored, ha. I don’t entertain my kids daily.
I absolutely love the cardboard tube rainbow blower but all these ideas are really cute. I also love that most of these crafts are made with materials that one can find easily.
