Activities to Beat the Heat with your Child

When summer hits, I find my self saying to my kids, "get up and out.  Enjoy the beautiful day.  Don't sit inside."  BUT, on days like today, when the thermometer is going to read 100, I am searching for indoor activities.  Here are a few thoughts for heat-beating things to do with your child :

1. Make juice pops - they are easy, fun, and a cooling treat

2. Create fun art projects with photos - Crayola.com makes it easy to turn your favorite photo into a coloring page for your child to color

3. Look at your calendar, and make birthday cards for upcoming birthdays.  File them and now you have saved time in the future!

4. Wash the car - get a bucket, some sponges, and a hose.  This is one time when you will all love getting wet!

Enjoy, stay cool and have fun!
