It is summer time at last!! Almost everyone is out of school, and soon all the kids will be on summer break!! This school year went so quickly! Now it is time to enjoy the summer time! It always seems like summer to me when it is July 4th! It’s hard to believe but July 4th is just around the corner! This is a great time to start creating some fun Fourth of July crafts with your kids. I have highlighted a few fun ideas below.
Crafts for Toddlers are always fun and this bunny rabbit is sure to be a hit in your house. What I love about this craft is that they can create most of it themselves. Add a popsicle stick to it to make it a puppet. Then you can create a few rabbits or other animals and have a little show!

Googly eyes
Glue

This weekend was beautiful!! It felt like summer!! It was one of those weekends I would like to bottle up and save. It was so great to be able to be down by the beach and pool again! I was scrambling for the summer clothes as I hadn’t really changed the kids clothes for the summer season.
The warmer weather made me realize it was time to get ready for summer weather and clothes. Summer is fast approaching so I decided it was time to go through the kids closets. It’s that time of year, again. It seems to happen so fast! I know before I know it, it will be time for back to school shopping for kids clothes!! As I go through the clothes it amazes me how much they have grown in a year!! Some of the clothes that were big last year are small now!! How fast it happens. It’s going to be time for clothes shopping again!
I like to have my kids go through their clothes with me, so that the clothes that don’t fit them anymore we can donate. It’s a good lesson for them to take part in donating their clothes to charity. So as we look at clothes we decide, should we give this to someone who can use it? My daughter really likes knowing her clothes will go to a child who can use them.
After going through all the clothes, which takes hours, I feel like I really accomplished something!! I always feel like things are more organized and they only have the things they need.
Do you have any spring cleaning traditions? Do you enjoy your spring cleaning? How about your kids?
This book about “my family” or “my dad” is a fun idea for a Father’s Day Craft that your child can create as a gift for their dad. It’s a special gift that most dad’s would love. Talk to your child about what they would like to make their story about. They might choose to make a story about their family or their dad. Have them think about some special things that you all do as a family or they do with their dad that they want to share. They can take their time to draw the pictures first. Once they have drawn the pictures they can start to work on the words. Depending on their age, they can try to spell the words themselves or they can tell you the words and you can write it. Either way, they will finish with a special keepsake for their dad, depicting what they love about their dad and their time together.
Supplies:
Paper
Stapler
Crayons, Markers
Pencil
Steps:
Create pictures of the story your child wants to tell
