10 Summer DIYs for Kids

I can't believe it's already August. We've only got a month left, so let's make the most of it! I thought I would write a post about some DIYs that are super kid-friendly but also very summer-y so that it makes it seem like fall hasn't really gotten close yet. Many of these involve getting wet or slimy, or even learning, since you aren't in school and could use the extra knowledge. It's been really smokey here in Southern Oregon, which means not everyone is outside a whole lot, and since the air is kind of cooling off, the pool is cooling off, too. But, last week, we went up into the mountains back to Tannen lake where it wasn't so smokey but still SO hot. It was sort of chaotic, because we forgot one of the water bottles at home, resulting in dehydration, and we went straight out to dinner afterwards (at a fancy restaurant!), but I wasn't going for that because I was COVERED in dirt. Then, I remembered the dogs, and since we were early, we got to go home and drop them off so that I could change into something nice. And that's the unexpected story for today! Now for the crafty part~

The idea of a fairy door is adorable, it's the perfect project to inspire the minds of some of the younger kids!! Also, marshmallow catapults are awesome because if you shoot marshmallows outside the dog can just eat them, though I don't know if marshmallows are toxic to dogs? Have an awesome rest of your summer. Thanks for reading!
