Summer is here and the kids are out of school, now what?
These fun and easy DIY projects are a sure fire way to keep your kids entertained and will keep them away from the TV.
Pinecone Bird Feeders
First, tie a string to the top of the pinecone. Then apply honey and then roll it in the birdseed. Then let your kids hang them on a tree and wait for the birds! While these are super easy to make, things can get a little messy. My suggestion is that you do this project outside to keep cleanup as easy as possible!
What you’ll need: Pinecones, honey, bird seed, string.
Painted Rocks for the Garden
This is a project that the whole family can enjoy together. Even if your kids have a larger age gap, just assign everyone a job to create fun and colorful rocks to brighten up the garden!
What you’ll need: Assorted rocks, paint, googly eyes (optional)
Sun Prints
While this isn’t exactly a DIY project, its still a fun and inexpensive thing that you can do with your kids. Take the little ones for a walk and collect different plants, rocks, feathers, etc, to experiment with.
