Hot Weather Fun: Summer Crafts for Kids

Summer crafts for kids are a great way to keep little ones cool and having a great time! These activities are perfect for everything from practicing phonics to building a foundation for science learning.

Summer is the one of the times I get really excited about crafting. It brings back all the memories of what we made at summer camps or vacation bible school. There’s a nostalgia there that makes it fun to relive.

I want to be able to create that same nostalgia feeling for my own kids when they’re older. These are some fun summer crafts for kids to make that I think will give them that same feeling.

These summer crafts are what I believe to be classic summer crafts for preschooler and kids of all ages. They all give me that warm fuzzy feeling of remembering making them as a child.

Red White and Blue Cupcakes Recipes for the 4th of July

Image
Happy Independence Day… early!  These cupcakes were going to be my Fourth of July treat, but all my nieces and nephews are coming today and I wanted them to get to enjoy them too.   So I’m a week early.  I’m pretty sure I won’t hear any complaints. My kids were so excited over these, I barely got to frost them before their hands were reaching to snatch them away from me.  They loved biting into them and seeing all that color.  And who wouldn’t?  These are a perfect dessert to have at a Fourth of July picnic or party, don’t you think?  Make enough for the grown-ups too.  They’re hard to resist.
