Tired of spending your boring summer holidays or thinking of ways to spend your time during those few rainy spells during the summers?
Why not try out some interesting indoor crafts with your kids!
Listed are a few interesting indoor summer crafts that can help you enhance your creativity.
1. Summer time T-shirt: Lay some t-shirts flat on the ground and ask each person to place a collection of differently shaped objects on the shirts. Have an adult wearing rubber gloves spray from a bottle containing bleach over the entire surface. As the color begins to pail, remove the objects from the shirt. The outlines of the objects should be clearly visible, wash and dry the shirt and wear during summers.
2. Elmo with an ice-cream cone: Print out a template of your choice on a colored construction paper, color and cut out the template pieces. Glue the large rectangular piece to cover the tube and then glue on the head, arms and legs. Finally glue the ice cream cone onto one of Elmo’s hands to create effect.
3. Ice cream paper craft: Print out a template of your choice and color and cut out the template pieces. Tape or glue the scoops of ice cream onto the cone and then glue the face pieces to the scoops. Use small brass tacks to attach the hands and legs to the cone to make them movable.
4. Sunshine handprint craft: Paint the side of the plate that you want to be the sun with yellow paint. Let the plate dry. Then trace your child’s hand onto yellow construction paper enough times that they should cover the plate and cut them out. Glue the yellow handprints around without overlapping them too much and then cutting out orange handprints of your child the same way, glue these behind the yellow ones so that they peak out from between the yellow ones. If you like, draw a face on the plate.
5. Summer bear paper craft: Glue a bear to the front of a folded piece of construction paper to make a cute card. Scotch tape a straw or pop sickle stick on the bottom to make a puppet. Glue small piece of sandpaper on the back to make felt board character. You may even make this into a hat by measuring around a child’s head and forming a crown and then sticking this bear onto the crown.
