Summertime has come, so it’s time for sleepover fun! Not only do they collapse for easy storage, but the kiddos can have fun choosing how they the fabric for their tents, and even selecting other decorations to personalize and embellish them. This would even make an awesome birthday gift for someone!

Easy Crafts for Kids
Cute as a Button: Button Art
Button art is sure to be a hit for kids of all ages (just keep an eye on younger children who might be tempted to put them in their mouth)!
Let them get creative, because the sky’s the limit in terms of what can be designed. For example, flowers would be perfect for the summertime, and a giant shaped heart filled with buttons would be cute year around! So grab a canvas and an assortment of buttons – different colors, sizes, shapes – and let the fun begin!

Painting with Marbles
Use shaving cream to make a marbled paper masterpiece. Kids can make a mess and stir things up but the end result is always satisfying because the more imperfect the marbling, the more beautiful the art.
