There’s just a few weeks left in summer, so naturally everyone’s thoughts are turning to going back to school … just kidding! Everyone is thinking about the best way to squeeze every last bit of fun out of summer!
And we can help with that.
Here are nine inexpensive and creative ideas to try this summer. Have fun!
1. Make an outdoor board game with painter’s tape.
Create a board game on your patio with fun activities in the spaces like a water fight or pool noodle fight on the trampoline, whatever your imagination can dream up! You can even make your own dice to go with it.

2. Make a bullseye game on your driveway with chalk and sponges.
Draw a target on the driveway, draw some circles to stand in and then soak the sponges in water. Toss them at the target and it’s easy to see how close you’ve come to hitting the bullseye. For more information, visit mamaslikeme.com.
3. Make chalk dress up dolls.
Take some old clothing, lay it on the ground and draw chalk people wearing the clothing. It’s like paper dolls, but different. Should you draw the person first and lay the clothes on them or lay the clothes down and draw the people after? It’s up to you! Check out theiowafarmerswife.com for more info.
4. Turn your driveway into a work of art with exploding paint bags.
These wonderfully bombastic paint bombs can be made with household items and ingredients and they make a magnificent mess! Visit growingajeweledrose.com for the recipe.
