the year we made all of these crafts with the kids was so much fun. us adults enjoyed them just as much as the kids, sometimes more.
so far, this summer, we’ve recycled crayons and made marshmallow structures. but, we are in need of some new ideas. so, after you’ve had a chance to check these kid’s crafts out, we’d love for you to link up the fun projects you’ve been working on with your kids.

Funny that you posted this today. I have had many of these ideas bookmarked as things to do with my girls this summer. Tonight we were at Girl Scouts and the leader's craft didn't work so we were looking through her supplies and she had TP tubes and I thought of the bracelets! It worked perfectly and the girls loved their new jewelry. 🙂
Thanks so much for doing a post about this. I need some fun things to do with my kids. How awesome to even have a linky for others to join, can't wait to try some of these. Thanks ladies!!
Just so much fun! I enjoyed your projects and the linked ones.
OOooO, can't wait to try some of these with my kiddos!! Oh and here you go… I haven't tried this one yet either but it looks fun! We are going to use it to make bracelets :0) http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Wire-from-a-Plastic-Bottle
You guys really have some phenomenal choices featured here! The Hot Rocks will be a hit around here too I think! Thanks for a fun little spot just for kids 🙂
Just did the hot rocks with my daughter today! We went down to the beach and found some large flat rocks. They came out so pretty! A fun alternative to painting. Thanks for the great idea!
