10 Fun Crafts to Keep the Kids Busy This Summer

That’s when I start scouring the Internet for genius crafts to do with him! Some are for older kids who can read and write on their own, and some are for our youngest tots at home — even the non-school-aged ones who are looking for something fun to get into as well. Because, lets be honest, the older kids do feel you hovering, mom. And if you are wanting or needing to be more involved in the crafts, there are some perfect tutorials for that as well!
