Summer is in full swing, and if your kids are anything like mine, then you are tired of hearing the "I'm Bored" whine.
I have offered to let them scrub the toilets and wash windows, but it still doesn't stop the whining. Strange.
Time to break out the craft supplies! Cure those boredom blues with some fun craft time!

eeek! I love these all! I am working on a Kids Summer Craft Camp on my blog right now and these would fit in wonderfully there!
I especially like the wands, I have a pile of bamboo that I just chopped down that I bet would work perfectly for wands!

A lovely list of ideas, I've just started thinking about a few things to do with my little boy in the summer holidays so this was great to come across.

I love the scavenger hunt boxes. What a cute idea. Lots of great ideas here.
