As we hurtle towards Summer and the LOOOONG Summer holidays it is time to look at some SUMMER CRAFTS. Yes, what can we make that a) makes Summer more fun b) keeps the kids busy and c) makes use of the gorgeous weather (ahem, well here is hoping for a good Summer anyway!!!). We have a great set of Classic Summer Crafts over on Red Ted Art for you to check, but here are many more great ideas from the lovely BritMums Bloggers!
So let’s begin:
Let’s get arty with Wild Grass Seeds
Simple but effective – Paint with Water
Use all that spare time to learn to finger knit!
Make your own JUMBO sidewalk chalk (or star shaped chalked)
Get Closer to Nature with Weed Weaving!
Make bread in a can over a camp fire (so clever)
Make Driftwood Noughts & Crosses
Make your own juggling balls & learn to juggle! (or make some juggling chooks)
Make some Coffee Filter Butterflies
Hope you liked our selections of crafts! Would love to see what you have been up to!

There are some brilliant Summer Crafts there - we definitely want to try the camp fire bread in a tin and the drift wood noughts and crosses are beautiful.
I've blogged about a craft that can either be made by kids themselves, or they can be made to take with you on holidays or days out. Graze Box Hacks: http://www.thisiswiss.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/one-for-kids-graze-box-hacks.html
