My kids are 3 and 8. It's getting to be a real challenge for me to find new activities for them to do together.(with me too )

Here are some of the things that we have been doing or are going to do:

We color in books

We use modeling clay

They play with squirt bottles, spray bottles and paint brushes to "paint" outside.

We are going to make bottles of sand art using salt

I'm thinking of doing a paper mache project so they can make their own banks.

We have boards games that my son will give in and play too--Memory and Candyland.

We spend a lot of time reading and going to the library.

They love to ride their bikes and scooters but since the weather has been so hot and humid, nobody feels like hanging out outside.

I need to keep the cost of these ideas to minimum too.

What is everyone doing with their kids this summer?
