Keep the kids busy this summer and give your house a child-inspired mini makeover at the same time by making some accent pieces for indoor and out.
Painted Pottery
Whether it's a gift for Grandma or a way to add some character to your potted flowers, your kids will have a blast hand-painting their own pottery.
DIY Tie Dye
Get your groove on with some DIY tie dye. Find old t-shirts and color the day away creating something that your kids will love showing off to their friends. Throw their bed sheets in the mix for a mini room makeover that will make them just as excited for bed time as you are.
Canvases
Be prepared for a rainy day with a few canvases and have some empty wall space available so you can showcase their completed works of art. Let them explore their inner artist and have fun making a mess with paints. After all, Picasso had to start somewhere.
Bird Feeder
With a few household items your kids are set with a craft that will teach them a little bit more about nature, plus it will be a great addition to your backyard.
Rock Art
Give a little extra love to your garden this summer with hand-painted rocks. Whether it's a ladybug, daffodil, or what appears to be an abstract caterpillar, your garden will be bursting with personality and spunk that stemmed from your creative kids.
Squirt Gun Painting
Kids will love this colorful activity! Find some inexpensive water or squirt guns at dollar or department stores and fill them with tempera paint instead of water and then what your child's' reaction when that colorful paint hits the canvas! You can use old pieces of cardboard or tape together pieces of construction paper to make canvases for this activity or even create target boards so they can work on their accuracy by trying to hit the bull's eye!
