Summer is quickly approaching, with that comes nice warm temperatures…but also swealtering ones too. Having kids through summer during the nice days is sometimes hard enough. Throw some intolerable heat temps and you have a recipe for very bored kids. (at least in my case)
I’m assuming that’s why you’re here, to try some of these ideas with your children to beat the heat this year. Well keep scrolling because I have a whole bucket list of ideas and crafts you can try. I hope they work as good for you as they did for my daughter!
