Happy Thanksgiving!

Summer fun!
Are your kids out of school and bored already? Here are some great ideas for fun things to do with kids:
Have a teddy bear picnic. Host it for your kids and their favorite stuffed animals. Make lunch fun and turn it into an indoor or outdoor picnic instead.
Do a string painting- get string and cut it into various lenghts. Dip the string into bowls of kid paint and get creative.
Make a nature collage- take the kids for a walk and collect things for nature…flowers, acorns, leaves, grass and glue them all onto paper or cardboard to make a collage.
Food Jewelry- string macaroni, cheerios, noodles or straws onto a string. Make necklaces, bracelets, anklets or belts
Make a playhouse- get a large appliance box, paint and decorate it and make a playhouse.
