More Than 50 Low or No Cost Summer Activities

Summer is Here!

Summer is here, which means you're bound to hear the words, "I'm bored!"  While we are firm believers that "boredom" is good for kids (and adults, too), we also believe that there are times when you need to provide kids with some play ideas and starters.  Certainly, providing them with some materials that allow them to create and imagine is a great way to encourage them to think "outside of the box".  You can get them started, and stand back and let them take over!

Here's a collection of some awesome activities we've found around the web.
