10 Fun Things You Can Do With Your Children this Summer
that Won’t Break the Bank

1) Water + Kids = Lots of Fun
Put everyone in bathing suits and turn on the sprinklers. Fill the plastic pool that’s been lying around the garage all year.

Ask your child to lay on his or her back on the paper and use a pen or pencil to draw the outline around him or her.

3) Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk
Use the recipe found at www.kinderinfo.com/crafts/sidewalk-chalk.htm to make your own sidewalk chalk. Use it to let the kids turn the driveway into a piece of art, or and use it to play hopscotch.
4) Take Me Out to the Ballgame
