Budget-Friendly Summer Fun: Our Favorite Free Kids Activities!

Summer break is here, and keeping the kids entertained without breaking the bank can feel like a challenge! Last year, we discovered a treasure trove of free local events—think library story hours, splash pads, and nature scavenger hunts. One of our favorite memories was turning a simple backyard picnic into a mini adventure, complete with homemade lemonade and a playlist of our favorite summer tunes. The kids still talk about the day we made sidewalk chalk art and played water balloon games until sunset. Sometimes, the best memories come from the simplest moments! What are your go-to free summer activities for kids? Share your ideas below—I’d love to try something new this year! #SummerHacks #FreeFun #KidsActivities #Lifehacks

Handicrafts for Homeschoolers: Quilling

QUILLING LESSON PLAN 📚Week 1: - Introduce quilling paper and the quilling tool. - Demonstrate how the quilling tool can coil paper. - Browse through library books with quilling projects for inspiration. 📚Week 2: - Let your child practice quilling without focusing on a finished product. - Practice making tight coils, loose coils, and shaping them into different shapes. - Experiment with a quilling board to adjust coil sizes. 📚Week 3: - Work on a small project using basic quilling skills, like making a quilling rainbow. - Use quilling paper strips in seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white. - Cut thin strips of colored paper or use precut quilling paper. - Create spirals using the quilling tool, glue them down, and shape them using a quilling board. - Sketch a rainbow shape on cardstock, glue down the spirals in layers, and finish with white spirals for clouds. - Allow the glue to dry and display the finished project. 📚Weeks 5-6: - Plan and design a larger quilling project based on the child's interests. - Let them explore different ideas and practice techniques. - Help them validate whether some ideas are feasible. 📚Weeks 7-12: - Execute the design plan and work on completing the project. - The project can be one large piece or a collection of smaller ones. #quilling #artproject #craftingforkids #quillingtechniques #rainbowart #creativelearning #homemade #kidsactivities #artforkids #diy
