SummerTime

I love Summer. Actually I love my family being home more, which happens during summer! When the boys were little I would have a few activities on my list that as we had time or the kids got bored we would do.

One of my favorite things is play dough. Personally as a kid, I loved play dough and I think every kid needs to get tactile. This recipe is what I always used, three easy ingredients and best of all it is edible! Here is a LINK.

Please go there and make it some time this summer. If nothing else do it on a day when the kids bug you! Let them have fun. The boys were talking the other day about our lame pools, it was what we could afford. The funny part is they looked back on that time as a wonderful memory, running in the backyard with a hose, water balloons, or a small pool. On a hot day any type of water works to cool off.

Another thing we did a lot of is writing with shaving cream on a cookie sheet. If you have not done it with your kids, please do so! You can practice manuscript or cursive. The kids love it and it is “clean” fun! After they get done writing yes the shaving cream will fly, do it outside if you haven’t guessed yet. You can do it with corn meal if you want a dry “clean” activity.

Last but by no means least is Finger Paint. All three boys loved to dribble, move and explore the finger paint. Tipnut has several recipes, here is the LINK.

My boys and I plan on doing a few different things, I will let you know what soon!
