How are you handling the heat? I know it is tough during
these last few weeks of summer to maintain sanity as the temperature and the
final stretch with the kids can wear on your nerves. Here are a few simple and
easy ideas for indoor adventures while you are searching for those ways to beat
the heat.
Visit area museums. Most museums have a great children’s
area.
Design a scrap book of memories from the summer.
Create a sculpture using junk and recycle items from around
the house.
Hang out at a bookstore, let everyone find their favorite
book.
Put together a drama, complete with costumes. Video it
and send it to family and friends.
Go to the mall and give the kids a few dollars. Have a
contest to see who can make their $ go furthest.
Make homemade ice cream.
Search Pinterest to find a recipe to cook together. Make
a list of ingredients, shop & bake together.
Have a movie day at home, complete with popcorn, snacks
and even tickets and fake money.
Play store, or house, or school.
Develop a puppet show using socks. Decorate with yarn,
markers, felt & buttons.
Cut out pictures from magazines, glue them to card board,
cut them up and make puzzles.
Skype with grandparents or distant friends or write
letters to them.
What are some of your favorite ideas?
