Think Outside the Toy Box {A Summer Series}

Think Outside the Toy Box Summer Series

Keeping the kids entertained (especially over a long summer break) doesn’t have to be difficult, nor does it have to be expensive.  Not if you think outside of the box.

The toy box that is!

Throughout this summer series, myself and 5 other very talented bloggers have come together to bring you 10 weeks of fun and creative kids crafts and activities using items that you probably already have lying around your house.

Things like paper bags, soda bottles, and Kool-Aid can all be used to create fun and engaging activities (while throwing a little summer learning in there too) that will keep your kids entertained for hours!

I hope you enjoy the series as much as we have enjoyed creating it and I hope it encourages you and your children to start thinking outside the toy box!

To see all of the projects from this fun series, make sure you check out the rest of the series’ participants!
