How are you settling into the summer break? Have the kids acclimatised to it yet, or do they still need you to plan their time? For some, summer is a time of stress due to needing childcare, and others love it. Which camp do you fall into?
I always find having some quick and easy crafts and printables available makes my summer much easier. I can be all prepared beforehand. So this week we are providing you with some simple activities and printables so you can do the same.
I love getting creative with the kids, and this DIY dreamcatcher tutorial is perfect for tweens and teens. How to make a dreamcatcher? Much easier than you think; in fact, I was amazed at how easy it is to make a DIY dreamcatcher.
Balloon Hovercraft
I love crafts and activities that really bring things to life, and this super simple balloon hovercraft does just that. I love that you can transform a balloon and a CD into a hovercraft.
Maths & Art Collide
Perhaps you want something fun, but educational to stop the summer slide. These parabolic curve activities (with a free printable) are a great way to create curves with straight lines
Lolly Stick Catapults
A Popsicle Stick Catapult is a super simple science and craft activity to do with the kids. These were so simple to make, but we have had hours of fun seeing who can get mini marshmallows into a target using their popsicle stick catapult!
A gentle collection of seasonal ideas, little celebrations and simple pleasures to dip into throughout July if they appeal to you. No pressure. No expectations. Just possibilities.
