Water Play
Get out with the kids and cool off with this easy but fun activity:
Sidewalk chalk is so much more fun when paired with a wet surface. Let that surface be anything...a tree trunk, a stone, a wall, stairs, fence, etc. First have the kids drop the chalk into the bucket of water, then have them wet down the sidewalk or any surface that is easily washable with a large paintbrush and water. Now they're ready to draw! Try having the kids mix the colors like paint with a brush. Blending and layering makes the chalk paintings/drawings even better. Or you can just let your child paint with water and watch what happens to each surface when it gets wet. Most importantly, let the kids experiment and explore their world in a new way.
