entertainment for the kids

We haven't really done much of anything thus far this summer. Our main entertainment is letting the kids outside to play with their friends. It would be nice if it weren't so rainy though. We save all our family activities for Sundays when my husband is off work.

Kids love boxes. Give them some pretty good size boxes and some big markers and turn them loose. Add some paper plates for wheels and their imagination will soar. Get them started by suggesting a train or an airplane. Put some seats in for a bus. Make a castle and give them something for crowns.

Lazy summer days, Iwish i had them. LOL. When my kids were younger I use to take them to the zoo on a Wednesday night. The zoo was open late and I had a zoo pass so did not cost to go. We would take some foor and eat on the way rond. The zoo closed its gates at eight but is took us till about nine to get out. The animals were much more lively as it was evening and it was cooler. On riany days I would take them to diffrent science centers with hands on. I kept a science pass and we would get in all of them for free. The passes alre good all over the country if you visit out of state. Some days we would spend a day at a metro park with a pol and pic nic. Hope these ideas help you.

crafts lots of crafts, I just keep there hands busy.
