Free outside playtime

OK, so I have mentioned this before but one of my favorite playtime activities for summer is water painting the house or driveway. All you will need is a bucket or bowl, water, paint brushes, and a paint medium. The side of your house if it is brick is perfect. Now all you have to do is paint. The water will show up on the driveway or your house as a “different color” to your kids so that they can see shapes and artwork. But when it dries, it’s gone. So that means no clean up for you. YEAH US!!!! And we all know how much kids like to play in water. It’s a great little way to have fun with your kids without any stress or clean up.
What’s your favorite summer playtime activity with your kids?
Each hour today, we are blogging for charity. Please consider making a donation to The Children’s Hunger Fund.
water guns and water balloons, every year we all have fun with this. I can’t wait to see Little A toss a balloon at me.
Neat idea! This is the first year that we’ve really been able to do stuff with our son since he was so little last year but we bought a “water park” on clearance at Toys R Us and we love playing with it. The other thing is bubbles. He loves bubbles. Bought a bubble machine at Target. Best $10 (each) we’ve spent!
I have one of those bubble machines too. They are well worth the $10. Who doesn’t like bubbles? You don’t have to buy the incredibly expensive bubble solution either (gazillion bubbles, or something like that). You can buy the less expensive one or try making your own.
