Bring the kids to the kitchen to make and bake their favorite foods.
Puppet Show or Play
Kids can make puppets from paper bags or cardboard rolls, and put on a production. Or they can dress up and star in their own show.
Garden Party
Give kids their own patch of earth to plant their own vegetable or flower garden. Make crowns from leaves to commemorate the planting.
Water War
Have a water fight with squirt guns and water balloons. Turn on the sprinklers to make the battlefield more fun and water the lawn at the same time!
Story Time
Read favorite books outloud, then have kids make up, create, and illustrate their own.
Fashion Design
Kids can make friendship bracelets or beaded necklaces, or color on plain t-shirts or hats. Then have a fashion show for the budding designers to model their creations.
Puzzle Play
Draw a puzzle design on a piece of blank paper, then have kids draw a picture on the blank side. Cut out the puzzle pieces and have kids reassemble their art.
Scavenger Hunt
Make up a scavenger hunt and send kids from clue to clue on a fun wild goose chase. Make sure to have a reward at the end, like a batch of freshly baked cookies or a box full of their favorite treasures.
