Summer is almost upon us, and many of us can’t wait for the long days, beautiful weather and vacations to begin. It is also a time when the kids are off school, and many parents look forward to those days with keen anticipation.
If you look forward to spending time with the children during the summer months, you are not alone. Take Asia Citro, for example, as she is a mother that truly loves fun activities. In fact, she has compiled some of her best activities into a single area, and we are happy to share it with you.
You may think that you know what to do this summer, but until you see this list, you are really cutting yourself short. This type of imaginative play is not only fun for the children, it’s fun for the parents. So get out and some fun this summer, using one or all of these ideas.
Not all children love to take baths but when you fill the tub full glowing, non-toxic and even edible water? You will be surprised with how quickly they jump in.
It may be hot outside, but this little snowman is going to make things totally cool. You can make your own foaming snow easily and you would be surprised what you create with it.
3. Water beads
Not only are these mini water beads inexpensive, they are edible and loads of fun! They look like gel beads but they are actually basil seeds that have been prepared for this fun project.
There is nothing quite like playing with foam, and this rainbow foam is sure to please. You can mix it up quickly using dish soap, water and food coloring.
It’s time to make a giant pile of foamy toothpaste. This one takes a mix of ingredients so make sure you are there to supervise.
This is loads of fun and contains only 3 ingredients.
Let’s face it, kids love slime. Throw in a few polka dots and this project is a winner!

This is easy to make and oh so much fun!
