Ah… the summertime warp. On the one hand, it feels so short, but on the other, it seems to go on forever (especially when we are more confined to the air-conditioned indoors). With kids home from school all summer, the days feel endless. While we cannot help you get to the beach, we do have some fun and simple ideas to keep your little ones busy! Below you will find a collection of summer crafts for kids. When it’s too hot to even go outside, break out the craft drawer. Enjoy the indoors watching your child’s artistic abilities develop until the start of the school year.
Milk carton birdhouses and bird feeders
Milk carton birdhouses and bird feeders are fun and simple kids’ crafts that anyone can do! To do this, we need to go to our favorite craft supply source. No, not Michael’s –the recycling bin!
Recycled milk and juice cartons can be repurposed into beautiful crafts. You will need a clean and dry carton, some white paint, school glue, cardboard, a foam paintbrush, tissue paper squares, and twine. Collage on the squares and add half a wooden spoon for birds to rest on.
