As most of you are off from work today with your kids, you are probably getting a small taste of what you can look forward to this summer. Perhaps "looking forward to" doesn't apply to everyone at this point -- no matter how much you may love your children, the prospect of having your kids home for a couple of months can seem daunting to any parent. However, by busying your kids with activities and projects, you can help make this time an enjoyable one for your kids as well as yourself.
With this in mind, we've been really busy on Pinterest lately! We've continued to add to our Party Activities and Games board and our Kids' Crafts board, as well as our newest Parenting a Princess board, including as many summer-friendly ideas as we can find. Of course, we'd love for you to swing by the page and take a look, but in the mean time, we've brought a few ideas to share today. Just like with our Rapunzel round-up, these ideas are not NYPP originals; instead, they have been pinned from Pinterest and the Internet and have been given proper credit where credit is due. Please refer to the caption for more info about each idea (you may even find some helpful tutorials).
Enjoy!
