Kids’ Outdoor DIY Summer Activities & Games

Summer is perfect for those laid back days but, if you have small children, you know that “I’m BORED!”  is a phrase that gets uttered from time to time during those long summer months (and by “time to time”  I mean every 20 minutes).    So today I’ve rounded up some fun outside summer activites you can create and do with your little ones!   If you can get them to help you make them AND THEN play with them then that is double your fun! 🙂
