Summer
Summertime is a time for soaking up the sun, drinking smoothies, eating ice cream, hanging out by the beach, camping, and doing all sorts of other fun outdoor activities. You may even bring out your bikes to go for a cruise, or maybe you'll spend the majority of your time in the garden pulling weeds and watering plants. Whatever it is you like to do, summertime is a great time to try new things, which is why we've posted an assortment of DIY summer crafts and activities for you to check out on this page.
With the kids out of school, you'll want to make sure they have something to do during these summer months as well. If you don't keep them occupied, they'll either stay glued to a screen, or they'll tell you how bored they are whenever they get a chance. To help you keep them busy, we've written about several different summertime activities for kids. Some of our most popular ones have been this Water Blob DIY, Ice Chalk Recipe, and these Super Fun Ways to Use Pool Noodles.
For more fun and easy summer crafts for adults and children of all ages, browse our posts below! We have many different things for you to check out like our weekend project ideas, gardening tips, and we've also posted some useful life hacks that will keep your summer activities running smoothly all summer long.
