Rain Rain Go Away….
It was the first rainy afternoon of summer vacation, so what to do with a couple of six year olds? We pulled out the paper and pencils, found the Young Rembrandts How to Draw videos on YouTube and spent a lovely afternoon drawing.
If you haven’t already tried this, give it a shot… I keep filming and uploading new videos and there are even a few books you can download with tons of drawing tutorials to keep them busier, longer.

Summer Activities for the whole Family

A visual star chart, tracking each members progress is a great reminder for everyone involved, and don’t forget a prize for the winner(s)!!
Redecorate the Yard- redecorating the house can be an expensive undertaking with a lot of planning involved, but redecorating the yard can be done in a few short hours. Dig up holiday lights to string across the patio, plant flowers or vegetables in small pots or “paint” the sidewalk with washable chalk. Celebrate the hard work with a special outdoor dinner or picnic and bask in the mental (and physical) exercise done by all.

Creative Play for Kids!
When my girls were young, there were times I felt like a human coloring book. All three of them enjoyed a healthy balance of art, athletics and creative play. Their creative play days consisted of lots of dress up, imagining and drawing. A favorite coloring and drawing subject were princesses, which often led to me providing the drawings they wanted to color.
Like most young girls, they could imagine the perfect dress, fancy hairdos and flashy jewelry – but when it came time to draw, they were intimidated by drawing faces and figures. That’s when I came to the rescue and provided help with their drawings and special requests.
