Blast from the past

Summer time is fabulous...but sometimes it's just too flippin hot to go outside...
Here are a few ways to bring the party indoors.


Remember the 'BEST FRIENDS' necklaces from back in the day? I think I had at least three of them. If you have any girls around the house, this makes a fun,quick craft.


My girls pretended that whenever they put the two pieces of the puzzle together, they would be transported to another world of their choice. (Chocolate world, Giant world, etc.)


Make a homemade basketball hoop out of cardboard boxes. All you need is some cardboard, hot glue (or tape) and a ball.


After shooting a few hoops, my 5 year old said, "This is the best toy you've EVER MADE!"


What about Lincoln Logs? Remember those? Just set out some pretzels, a little bowl of peanut butter and a butter knife and let them build until their supplies run out!




(Check out the sandboxes made of cinnamon sugar! That was Hayley's idea.)


Best part about this one is that you can use it for their afternoon snack :)
