FUN IN THE SUMMER SUN - "LINK UP YOUR KID FRIENDLY SUMMER ACTIVITY"


Welcome to the 1st of our Fun in the Summer Fun event! Each Monday until September 7th Mama to 4 Blessings along with Adventures of Mommydom, Sweet Diva, Harvest Moon By Hand, and Sweet Phenomena will be hosting Fun in the Summer Fun link up events.

Here's the line up:
The 1st Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer activities"
The 2nd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer crafts"
The 3rd Monday of each month: link up your "Kid friendly summer receipes"
The 4th Monday of each month: link up your "How to stay cool in the summer heat"

Here's our "Kid friendly summer activity"

We went to the beach and my boys collected several sea shells with "holes" in them so that they could make necklaces for their friends as gifts at our homeschool graduation.

The boys painted crosses on the inside of the shells and we strung yarn through them and wrapped them and passed them out.

    Your sons did a great job with the necklaces. It's so nice to make and give homemade gifts; and the recipients then have something special they can remember the giver by. What a great lesson for children to learn!
