Summer Craft Fun


I was thinking about how I would entertain my kids this summer. What would I do with them that would be fun, creative and take some time. Of course my mind went straight to arts and crafts, since Hannah loves, loves, loves arts and crafts. I also came across this website and she has sooo many cute ideas that include arts and crafts and they are all centered around different themes (even more fun).

On a side note - go and check out her site. It is so cute. Her photography is beautiful and fun all at the same time. It is inspiring to see all that she does with her kids... what a good mom!

So, I decided each week, we would do arts and craft centered around a theme. But then I got to thinking, if I am going to go through all the effort might as well invite others to join in the fun (or should I say make it more fun)! So, that is what I did. We invited the neighborhood kids over for a weekly arts and craft hour (or so). Each week we will have a theme and with that theme we will read a book, do a craft project and have a treat!

I can't wait! I think it will be so much fun for the kids and just as much fun for me! A little mini-party each week.
Here are the invitations I made for our neighbors inviting them to the Summer Craft Fun! This first week is clowns so stay tuned!

Please say you'll give us a recap of each week's craft day. I may have to steal this idea from you. I'll just be a week behind in my themes. :)

What a great idea! We did that a couple of summers ago but at different people's houses - we each took a week. I am excited to see what you do - I know it will all be wonderful!
