Summer Art And Craft Ideas For Kids

Summer break is in full effect! When school is out, one of my favorite things to do with my son is crafts. He absolutely loves making things with his hands.

Each summer I try to come up with fun crafts and other activities that I think he will enjoy.

I have rounded up ten crafts that are perfect for rainy days, when the kids get bored, or simply when they want to be inside out of the heat. I’m sure your kiddos will enjoy these activities as much as mine does.
