It can be a challenge to find things to keep your kids busy over the summer when it is too hot outside to send them out to play so I thought I would give some suggestions.
1. Arts and crafts. Kids of all ages love to draw and paint and make things. There is also the old stand by of Play Doh. Out of ideas then check out Family Fun Magazine online for lots of great ideas. http://www.parents.com/familyfun-magazine/
2. Check out your local library. They have lots of fun programs for teens and younger kids as well as they have their summer reading program going. They will give your child prizes for reading a certain number of pages or books over the summer. http://summer.mcldaz.org
3. Water fun. Many local pools are inexpensive and even have fun events such as dive in movies. You can also have fun at home with a sprinkler, hose, squirt guns or water balloons. http://www.gilbertaz.gov/departments/parks-and-recreation/aquatics
4. Learn something new. Try a new activity with your child since there are fewer time commitments and pressures. Try cooking together and making some new recipes. Try building something together or learning to sew. Make some photo albums together or do some scrapbooking.
I hope everyone has a memorable and fun summer!
