There are many easy crafts that your kids can do this summer. Grab some plain terracotta pots and have your kids paint them using acrylic paints. Do not forget to seal the inside and outside of the pot with an acrylic paint sealant to protect their designs from the elements and to ensure that they do not come off when you water the plants. If you are looking for ways to beat the heat, have your kids make some reusable water bombs using sponges and string. Cut some sponges lengthwise making half-inch strips, tie six to eight sponges together by tightly tying them in the middle using string, and then simply soak and enjoy.
