These summer activities for kids will keep your crew entertained while school is out. Enjoy these fun craft ideas, art activities and games to play with your kids this summer.

No-Mess Tie Dye Sneakers

Use Sharpies to decorate plain white canvas shoes, then do this technique to make it look like watercolor. This one is so fun and much less messy than traditional tie dye.

Graph Paper Art

Make this fun pixelated art using a sheet of graph paper.

Duck Tape Zip Pouch

Turn a plastic zip bag into a durable and waterproof little pouch, perfect for taking to the pool.

Clothespin Flower Fairies

Turn an old-fashioned wooden clothespin into the cutest little flower fairies that look like they just stepped out of a cottage garden.

Egg Carton Animals

Recycle an egg carton and turn it into these cute turtles!

Unicorn Marionette 

I’ll always be a fan of marionettes because of that scene in Sound of Music. It would be such a fun summer project to make all the puppets, then put on a show!
